One box solution


Hello Everyone, 

I finally hit a wall with my health, I am almost 72 and have to downsize and move to a facility. It’s a very nice place but a lot smaller and my current set up can’t go so it’s all going in to storage. 

I am looking for a one box solution, the Naim Uniti Atom comes to mind but I am looking for better if that’s possible. My budget is 15k or less and has to have a remote, I don’t get around so good. Actually need bookshelf type speaker suggestions too…so 15k or less for speakers and 15k or less for a all in one intergrated…I will only stream so the box needs to have a Dac and everything built in, airplay,and Quboz…maybe the Uniti Atom is the best solution but was hoping for something better…thanks..

I live down South here in the Portland area. My dealer has instructions that if I kick the bucket before my partner to sell my system and also my record collection in one piece and give the proceeds to my partner.

@ghdprentice I don’t have anyone to give my rig too. It’s a modest system..

‘Pass Labs Preamp, Pass XA-25 amp and a First Watt Sit-4, Meitner MA3 dac

, Denafrips Venus Dac and Volti Audio speakers..

I will figure something out…

‘oh also some Klipsch speakers ..

I had a neighbor kid help me pack up stuff today and found a Naim Uniti Atom and some Opera Prima Bookshelf speakers that my ex left behind in her art studio…so going to use that until I get my footing in the new place..

@silverfoxvtx1800 So sorry to hear of this life change. My great hope is you can continue to enjoy music where you are headed. Your “ modest “ system must have sounded fantastic. I live part of the year in South Seattle - hopefully can have you visit for dinner and music.

 Hawthorne is a great idea as would be contacting Eric at Gig Harbor Audio for consignment. If you put things into storage, i and fellow music cronies from Olympia Music group can help you market the gear or get it to dealers who can including TMR and Echo in Portland. 

Finally, you might be surprised by what a NAIM atom can do, i run Apogee Centaur minor with mine… it’s not my reference system… but it’s quite good. Headphones are better left for another discussion.. Please do reach out w a PM.

@tomic601 Thanks Jim,
