Naim adds 24/192 support to Uniti range, plus AirPlay on its way?

Some interesting news for Naim owners this morning - all the details here

I think the ND5 XS is exactly what True Blue has been asking for...

that is... "Please give us a streamer and DAC in one which ISNT going to require a remortgage"

AirPlay capability will make the UnitiQute a viable proposition as an upgrade (for me) so long as the price is kept around £1400 between now and Naim's usual price hike in April*. (My hifi spend 'window' is usually mid March).

Hopefully it will have all the functionality of AirPlay that I enjoy now on the Marantz.

*Otherwise I may not be able to afford an iPad 2 to go with it 🙂

£250 extra for AirPlay compatibility?

Forget it.

[Edit: Although... would a £79 AirPort Express - connected to the internet router with ethernet and to the UnitiQute with optical - make it AirPlay compatible without spending out an extra £250 and waiting for Naim to offer an expensive AirPlay download?]

I was 90 percent sure that it was possible and I probably wouldn't have asked if it had been anyone else but Naim 🙂

As I replied to chebby in the article, the 250 quid is primarily for 24/192 playback, and not necessarily Airplay capability.
