Naim Uniti Atom – All In One Streaming System

Enjoy sublime sound from all your favourite music and radio stations – even your TV – with the Uniti Atom streaming player. Award-winning performance combines with excellent build quality and usability, wrapped in a beautiful British design that will give you years of entertainment. 

Uniti Atom expertly handles all the top music-streaming services – including Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL and Qobuz – plus offers easy Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in and Bluetooth playback.

It can also seamlessly play with other music systems around your home, and connect to your TV via HDMI, so your favourite shows and movies sound better, too.

Master the Uniti Atom and explore a world of music via the Naim App; there is also voice-control support for Google Assistant and Apple Siri, and even a smart remote control handset.

Tactile volume control

The Uniti range feature digitally controlled analogue volume controls. Dial your sounds up or down using the buttery smooth and beautifully illuminated, top-mounted volume control, first conceived for our flagship Naim Statement.

Banishing bad vibrations

Uniti’s thick aluminium walls absorb unwanted vibrations and help protect the core internal electronics from detrimental magnetic influences. Even the mounting of the printed circuit boards to the chassis is controlled to limit the effects of microphony on the precision audio components.

Expertly crafted and built to last

Uniti Atom is crafted, inside and out, from aluminium – chosen for its looks, durability, and to prevent the magnetic distortion other materials can suffer from. Its casework is first machined with computer-controlled liquid-cooled cutting equipment, for absolute dimensional precision. It’s then brushed and anodised to offer a beautiful yet robust appearance, with a tough, scratch-and-dent resistant design ready for many years of musical enjoyment.

The best components, made better

Uniti players each feature a premium Burr Brown digital-to-analogue converter (DAC), and analogue filter sections and output stages constructed from high-end components. They also have an incredibly powerful new 4th Generation 40-bit SHARC DSP processor, running custom software especially written by Naim. This implements 16 times oversampling and digital filtering, enhancing sound quality even further.

Full-colour display

A high quality full-colour custom display shows album artwork, artist information and much more

Chromecast built-in

New for Uniti is native support for Google’s latest technology, Chromecast built-in. This streaming service allows you to seamlessly link to hundreds of supported apps including Deezer, Qobuz, Plex, TuneIn, Soundcloud and Pandora from your smartphone or tablet and stream directly to Uniti.

AirPlay 2 Built-in

Stream music from your iDevice or from iTunes and Apple Music.

HDMI ARC - Boost your TV sound

Easily connect Uniti to your TV via HDMI ARC, and experience transformed sound quality from your favourite shows, films and games. Control your TV’s volume from its own remote, for a simple life. Uniti’s HDMI connection features galvanic isolation, to ensure that ‘noise’ from the TV power supply or indeed any other devices connected to the TV do not affect the sonic performance when playing any source.

TIDAL integrated

The lossless streaming service is integrated into the system for an immersive, high-quality sound experience. Plus get a 90-day free trial of the lossless HiFi-tier service (terms and conditions apply).

Spotify® Connect

Discover millions of songs from the world’s most popular streaming service with the built-in Spotify Connect feature.

Bluetooth (aptX HD)

The new Uniti all-in-one players now feature aptX HD. Pair your Bluetooth device and instantly play back your music in high definition quality.

Multiple control options

Master your Uniti Atom and explore everything it has to offer via the Naim App. All your listening options – music streaming services, radio, and more – are just a touch away, and it is simple to curate all your favourite albums, playlists and tracks.

Access and control any Naim system on your network, bring them together as an awesome multi-room system with just one touch.

Software updates that bring yet more functionality to your Uniti are just an App tap away, too.

Prefer a handset? Uniti Atom comes with an intelligent remote control that pairs with your player as soon as it’s unboxed and powered up. It’s a bidirectional design that doesn’t rely on line of sight, and has beautifully backlit buttons. Finally, the Uniti range also features voice-control support for Google Assistant and Apple Siri, with further options in development.

Internet Radio™

Access thousands of internet radio stations and save your favourite pre-sets for easy access.

UPnP™ (Universal Plug ‘n’ Play)

Stream your stored music from a PC, Mac or network-attached storage in high-res ‘better than CD’ quality.

Keeping it cool, making it last

Uniti Atom’s striking heat-sinks are directly coupled to the player’s floor, providing excellent thermal contact and heat transfer. This means heat is removed from the circuitry quickly and efficiently, even when your Uniti amplifier is powering out serious sounds. This thermal stability ensures consistent performance and long component life, two key parameters to Naim design.

Wireless or wired, your choice

Uniti features enhanced, dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity, but can also be used with a direct Ethernet connection to your internet router. When ‘hard wired’ in this way, the Wi-Fi interface is disabled, reducing radio-frequency (RF) interference for the ultimate sound quality.

Bigger buffer keeps the music playing

Even the most robust internet connection can suffer from occasional drop-outs – something Uniti is designed to minimise, and keep the music playing. It has sufficient memory to buffer up to five minutes of audio.

Future-proof streaming technology

Uniti runs on Naim’s unique, state-of-the-art music-streaming platform. This incredibly powerful, high-resolution ‘brain’ is able to handle both today’s popular music services and be ready for new technologies, giving you plenty of listening pleasure to look forward to.

Storage

Store up to 20,000 tracks to a local USB-connected storage device and either play them back through your Uniti Atom or serve them to other Naim streamers on your home network.

Multiroom

Uniti players work seamlessly with other Naim music-streaming products, from Mu-so wireless speakers to dedicated hi-fi separates. Choose the same song in beat-perfect sync or play different music in different rooms. Pair up to 5 systems with a simple tap of the Naim App. You can also serve any music stored on your Uniti Atom to other Uniti all-in-one players or Naim streamers at full CD quality.

Comprehensive file format support

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

Over-the-air updates via the Naim App now enable you to update your Uniti system at the touch of a button.

Roon ready

Roon transforms the experience of browsing music. Beautifully laid-out metadata is located automatically, then interconnected by links to build a surfable, searchable digital magazine about your music collection.

Qobuz

Qobuz allows you to stream the most comprehensive CD-quality music catalogue currently available and the largest selection of albums in true high-resolution studio quality directly to your Naim music streamer.

I bought one of these a couple of years ago. Endless simple joy. Wonderful noises, rich experiences. Doesn’t matter if it’s rag’n’bone man or Bach, our life is better by having this machine in our house
The Naim Uniti Atom is a near-perfect player. It has a wealth of connectivity and source options, an attractive design and a highly-usable app. Its screen is clear and colorful, and its playback precise and detailed. Pair it with a good pair of speakers and high-quality source material and it’ll bring new life to your favorite tunes. It’s undeniably expensive, but as a top-notch central home for all your music needs, it’s money well spent.
The Naim Uniti Atom is exactly what hi-fi should be in this day and age. Yes, you could spend £2000 on separate audio components and have change remaining for a decent set of speakers, but it’s hard to argue against the convenience and elegance of the Naim Uniti Atom, which can easily hold its own against any separates system out there. Such sound quality, such flexibility in sources and such beauty in design – this is a rare treat. If you’re ready to bring your hi-fi setup into the 21st century, the Naim Audio Atom is just what you need.
In a way it would be easy to understate just how great a performer the Uniti Atom is, insofar as it’s kind-of what we have come to expect from Naim. But if you end up hearing one and fail to be excited at the prospect of ownership then, quite frankly, there’s little hope left for you.
The Atom is expensive. For this kind of money, you could put together any number of hi-fi setups, speakers included, that would deliver very respectable sound quality. However, few of them would be as stylish, multi-talented and compact as the Uniti Atom. If you’re looking to dip a toe into the realms of high-end hi-fi, and aren’t keen on the idea of amassing multiple boxes to do one job, the Atom will be a hugely appealing option. You can’t fault the quality of the sound, nor the execution. Naim has worked to prove it could find a meeting point between classic hi-fi engineering and the future of music streaming; that it could provide unabashedly high-end sound in a stylish, compact package. The Uniti Atom is proof that it has succeeded on all fronts.
