While the Uniti Star costs a not inconsiderable sum, it doesn’t have much in the way of obvious competition. Linn’s Selekt DSM is an extremely high-performance all-in-one - but at Uniti Star spec it costs well over five grand. In terms of build quality and sound this is absolutely exemplary stuff from Naim.
We’re not the least bit surprised that the Star turns out to be so capable.... Our experience of other Uniti products gave us a pretty good idea of Naim’s talent in this arena. The Star is a great addition to the range, and if you need CD replay is the obvious choice.
