Naim UnitiQute - who's heard one?

I am using the UnitiQute with Harbeth P3's in an office set up and the match is great.

For Christmas I moved the system into the family room so my wife could stream xmas music. The room is fairly big (22x26) and the combo had no problem filling the space with sound.

My only problem now is getting the damn thing back in my office - my wife has fallen in love with it

The Uniti and UnitiQute could be the best thought out audio products in a very, very long time. And they sound exceptional.

Samac,

If you're moving up from the NAD 320BEE you mentioned in the other thread, you'll definitely hear a difference. The 320BEE is a great integrated for the money. I owned one for 2-3 years and had no complaints. But it ain't no Naim!

Again, Uniti vs XS/DAC will depend on budget and functional needs. Another plus for the DAC is that it'll take an iPod digital signal. They Uniti won't. The UnitiQute does. I've heard Naim will update the Uniti's oops input, but that was a while ago and still no word on it.

You can't go wrong either way IMO. But if you're undecided, I'd say go XS and DAC, as you'll probably get the upgrade itch sooner. Getting the better one will cost more up front, but it'll usually save even more down the road. Just the way it's been for me and countless others.

Amazing product. Hook up a iPod or iPad, a simple turntable like the Rega P1 and their entry level phono, and you have a nice system for your kids or a den. I have heard this with the shoe box Harbeths and Verity Finns. I loved both.

Careful. If you end up with one of these you just may start thinking about replacing that "perfect" dac with a Naim NDX! Once you hear what Naim does with streaming and digital you will be hooked. Superb equipment, superb company.
