Reviews
- Audiostream | Uniti Atom & Uniti Core | Review, Jan 2020 – Not only does it look at home amidst modern decor redolent of the urban, Instagram-savvy digital-audio neophyte, but it has the sonic chops to please even ascetic, basement-dwelling audiophiles.
- The Ear | Uniti Core | 5 Star Review, Jan 2019 – “It is good to see how far Naim has come in the power, quality and reliability of its digital products. I believe that the sonic gap between digital and analogue replay is narrower than it has ever been.”
- Uniti Atom & Uniti Core | Hi-Fi World | 5 Stars, Jan 2018 – ‘They are feature-packed yet easy to use and have a simply superb sound‘
