Rip, store, serve and play your music

UPnP™ (Universal Plug ‘n’ Play)

Serve your music to as many as 12 Uniti all-in-one players or other Naim streamers with up to 32 bits/384 kHz. Uniti Core will scan the network for shared audio files, including your iTunes library.

CD Ripping

Create bit-perfect copies of your CDs, store them internally or to a USB-connected storage device and play them back via Uniti Core (external DAC or digital-input amplifier required).

Digital Output

Connect your external DAC or digital-input amplifier to the precisely timed, re-clocked transformer-isolated S/PDIF output on the rear panel.

Storage and Back up

You can choose to fit an HDD (Hard-Disk Drive) or SSD (Solid-State Drive) with a capacity of up to 8 TB – enough space for 100,000 tracks. Alternatively, you can connect an external NAS (Network-Attached Storage) or a USB-connected storage device. NAS and USB storage can also be used as back-up locations.

File Formats

Supports a broad range of music formats including WAV, FLAC, DSD, Apple Lossless, AIFF, AAC, Windows Media-formatted files, Ogg Vorbis and MP3.

Wireless Updates

Update your system at the touch of a button via the Naim app.

So much more than a music server

• User changeable hard drive with an easily removable hard drive caddy. The caddy is also decoupled, reducing noise transfer from the HDD throughout the server.
• NXP iMX6 Quad core 1GHz processor, running a modified Linux operating system specially tailored to our motherboard (bottom layer PCB).
• Extruded aluminium heat sinks to dissipate residual heat, resulting in a cool running system.
• Unique ripping engine to ensure that the extracted data represents a flawless, bit-perfect copy of the CD.
• High-speed 3 Gbps SATA connection to the hard drive with bespoke high-quality SATA cables.
• Suspended electro-magnetic shield (middle layer) above the power supplies prevents any noise from this area transmitting to the soundcard output.

Easy App control – in one room or many

The Naim App – available for Apple and Android devices – makes it simple to control your Uniti Core, and even link up other music systems around your home into a stunning multi-room set-up.

Use the App to access all your music, including your favourite radio stations, streaming services and playlists, and explore artist discographies and biographies.
