I see that Naim have been busy this week releasing new products, including;

• Uniti Nova PE; All-in-one player
• CI-Uniti 102; All in one streamer and amplifier
• CI-NAP 108; 8 Channel amplifier
• CI-NAP 101; Power amplifier

It’s good to see new kit being released.

The CI components are for home installers - customers who want the sound system out of sight. And dedicated home theatre.

I don’t see that, the vast majority of their kit is two channel.

Indeed last year they introduced the New Classic series and the Nova PE, which are all two channel.

9k for an all in one streamer I don’t know about that. Better be something pretty special under the hood of that uniti

Companies need to have options within their portfolio's, if you don't then you are going to struggle to stay in business.

The Hifi world is now so diversified that you have to have the gear that appeals to the traditionalist as well as modern set-ups, Naim are doing a good job introducing gear that fits the needs of the music lover today.

Plus, you will still be able to get the kit serviced or repaired long after the warranty has passed, not many companies will look after kit that has long since disappeared from the sales catalog.

It depends what you want from your streamer, I think there will be plenty of takers.

I'm 66 and I reckon my kit should last me out. There really is no need to spend silly money on kit that can repaired long after your gone. What's the point!

Your equipment does seem to last you longer then your forum log in

Multi room amp, I remember reading WHF customer system reviews from the 90's when these where in the cupboard under the stairs feeding the whole house, I always wanted that, thanks to wifi I have it.

I’m not far behind you, my ATC’s should see me out, if I was keeping the Rega that might, the Audiolab and Hegel possibly but they are the unknown., the Audiolab simply because as a CDT the loading mech may fail, could I get a new mech 5 years down the road? The Hegel well they‘re still earning their stripes so we will have to see

Harsh.

Been an active member since 2012 Had three sets of kit in that time and three usernames, a nice balance.

When you get yourself sorted rip your CDs and stream them locally. Never seen the point of a CDT, the DAC in my CDP is a cracker, the spinner sees very little use as I've ripped 95% of my CD collection to a small PC connected to player.

An option that I am going to consider at some point, just need decide when.

Just need a laptop and download Exact Audio Copy software (free)...but getting the metadata right can be a PITA...especially for Classical! Unless you win the lottery and buy an Innuos Zen server....😂

Hence why I said 95% of my CD collection has been ripped

each to there own, like I said better be something special up the hood to justify the 4k price hike!

Especially, when for £3999 you can get NAD Masters M33 which also uses Purifi modules and has full streaming capability, plus Dirac.
