Hi all, yet another qn!

Is anyone out there using a unitiqute as a streaming pre-amp and if so what do you think of it in this role as well as impressions in general. I ask as the nac n 172 xs I was looking at is nearly 1700 notes and the unitiqute can be got from audio t for less than 900. Is the 172 really twice as good etc etc......

Cheers

Tommo

Have to say that all Naim's auditioned have sounded coloured.

All amps have a house sound of course, but for Naims it is so obvious!

That said I would of course happily own any Naim!

I recently compared the unitiqute to my quad 34/606 and a 2-300£ dac. The unitiqute was only better than my current system when used as a preamplifier instead of the quad 34. I would go for the 172xs.
