    Best Premium Streaming Amp 2024 - What Hi-fi?


    "Five Stars" – What Hi-fi? Magazine


    "Near Perfect" Five Star-Rated Compact High-End All-in-One

    Naim Audio's Uniti Atom is a beautiful, compact multi-source music player that will seduce you with its amazing sound quality and outstanding feature-set. Its 40-watt integrated amplifier and high-resolution music streaming capabilities will fill your home with stunning high-fidelity sound.

    Uniti Atom is perfect as a high-end main system or even for use in the kitchen or study, where space is at a premium. Just add speakers. The Naim App for iOS and Android combines all of your music sources in one place, making Uniti Atom even more appealing.

    "The Finest Premium Streaming Amp You'll Find Today"

    "The talented Uniti Atom is everything we've come to expect from Naim. A superb blend of lifestyle product and premium hi-fi – as it's consecutive What Hi-Fi? Awards every year since 2017 go to show," raves Becky Roberts in What Hi-fi? magazine, which named the Naim as Best Premium Streaming Amp 2024. "The Uniti Atom remains the finest premium streaming amp you'll find today."

    "It’ll Bring New Life to Your Favorite Tunes"

    "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," notes the October 28, 2018 issue of England's What Hi-fi? magazine, which awarded the Atom its top rating of Five Stars. "There probably aren’t two much more disparate pieces of music we could use for testing, but the Uniti Atom treats both with the same level of insight, regimental timing and contouring dynamics – and that's true of everything else we play that stylistically falls in between."

    "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," observes Gerald Lynch, TechRadar.com, April 12, 2019.

    "Naim seems to understand that pumping the volume is a sign that we want more," reports John H. Darko, Darko.Audio, July 2018. "With the Uniti Atom’s wheel, the British manufacturer maximises the pleasure derived from the most enjoyable – and most fleeting – of musical moments. Add that to an amplifier whose audible qualities better lend themselves to modern music than starchy audiophile recordings and top it off with every streaming input under the sun and the Uniti Atom hits the DAR-KO Award bullseye: Future-Fi for the Music-First Audiophile."

    Under the Skin of Uniti Atom

    Naim went to extraordinary lengths to maximize the sound quality from such a compact all-in-one player. From the substantial transformer, which ensures that the power supply is always smooth and stable, to the sophisticated, hand-wired analog and digital circuitry, every element of the design in Uniti Atom has been considered for its effect on sound quality.

    The Uniti Atom runs on a completely new Naim designed and built streaming platform. Its unique and very powerful 40-bit SHARC DSP is so phenomenally accurate that it performs a staggering 2.7 billion calculations per second, giving it enough power to resolve the most complex music signals with ease.

    New and Improved Naim App

    The new intuitive Naim App gives you effortless control over individual or multiple Uniti products. You can access all of your music, including your favorite radio stations, streaming services and playlists, or explore artist discographies and biographies. Furthermore, you can now update your system wirelessly with a single tap. The new app also allows you to control both Naim streaming products and Uniti Core.

    Glass Display and Intuitive Remote Control

    Uniti Atom features a full-color 5” LCD glass display with a proximity sensor that wakes up on approach, accompanied by a bidirectional intelligent remote control that works in harmony with the unit’s volume control. Giving you complete freedom of movement, Uniti is a joy to use.

    The Uniti System

    Whatever the source, the revolutionary new Uniti players combine seamless digital technology with analog soul for a sound that’s unmistakably Naim. Play, stream, rip and store entire music collections in flawless high-resolution. Then use Naim's custom-designed software to bring out every note of your music with true high-fidelity sound. New Uniti also gives you the option to sync up to eight Uniti systems or other Naim streamers and play music from any source in multiple rooms simultaneously. Or play different music in every room.

    Streaming Features and Services

    Atom allows you to use UPnP™ (Universal Plug and Play) to read music from storage, or PCs and Macs on the same network as your Uniti, control it all with the Naim app and enjoy playback at up to 32bit/384kHz resolution.

    Atom includes native support for Chromecast built-in. This smart new streaming service creates a seamless link to hundreds of supported apps from your smartphone or tablet and streams directly to your Uniti system.

    Discover millions of songs from the world’s most popular streaming service with the built-in Spotify Connect feature. The lossless high definition TIDAL streaming service is integrated into Uniti for an immersive, high-quality sound experience. Tune in to thousands of available internet radio stations and podcasts or curate your favorites for quick access later via iRadio.

    Pair your Uniti Atom with any compatible Bluetooth device for simple high quality playback of music from that device. With Apple AirPlay2 and Apple Music, stream music from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch or from iTunes and Apple Music.

    Bringing Uniti to Life

    Conceived and built from the ground up by Naim Audio's engineers and designers in Salisbury, England, Uniti remains true to Naim core design principles. From the finned aluminum heatsinks (inspired by Naim's Statement flagship amplification system) to the brushed black aluminum casing, the new illuminated signature volume control and the beautifully lit base – every minute detail has been considered to deliver a beautiful aesthetic packed with features and technology while achieving reference-level sound quality. Uniti is a true masterpiece of industrial design.

    Purposeful Materiality

    Uniti has been impeccably crafted with materials chosen to be in complete service of the sound. The extruded aluminum heat sinks that run down the length of the product extract heat to maximize thermal stability for increased longevity and sonic performance. The beautifully brushed aluminum top plates are CNC-fabricated for absolute precision and provide a perfect enclosure for the delicate components inside.

    Precision Volume Control

    At the heart of Uniti is an audiophile volume control which adjusts level in the analog domain to a premium digital resolution. Its ultra-smooth rotation and illumination is inspired by Naim's reference amplification system, Statement. The lit volume segments are reflected in the same fashion on Uniti Atom’s intuitive remote control and will adjust accordingly on the top surface ring if the volume is changed remotely. Naim has also also hidden the Bluetooth antenna here for a seamless aesthetic.

    Give Your Music Some Color

    With the Uniti range, Naim wanted to deliver total connection to your music collection. A highly polished full-color 5” LCD display provides rich images of album artwork and content. The screen has proximity sensors and will therefore wake up as someone approaches the machine to display music metadata, audio input, information and more. There is also a selection of front-panel buttons including Favorites, Stop and Play.

    Best Premium Streaming Amp 2024 - What Hi-fi?

    "The talented Uniti Atom is everything we've come to expect from Naim. A superb blend of lifestyle product and premium hi-fi – as it's consecutive What Hi-Fi? Awards every year since 2017 go to show. The superb Sonus Faber Omnia and the excellent Naim Mu-so 2 are fantastic alternatives, but for our money, the Uniti Atom remains the finest premium streaming amp you'll find today."

    - Becky Roberts, What Hi-fi?, March 14, 2024


    WIRED Magazine's 19 Delightful Gifts for Music Lovers and Audiophiles

    "The bookshelf-ready Atom can play high-res digital audio files from any source on your Wi-Fi network. If your loved one already has other Naim hardware in their home, the Atom will connect to those systems for a big, multiroom audio party. But even on it's own, it sounds absolutely incredible, with a pristine-sounding 40-watt amp that will drive whatever amazing speakers they already own. It even puts the album art on the full-color front display when streaming—a classy touch."

    - Parker Hall and Michael Calore, WIRED Magazine, October 20, 2021


    "If you value access to more music that you can possibly imagine (loved listening to Israeli Army radio late at night in Hebrew through the Internet Radio feature), phenomenal pacing, an engaging midrange that works with all genres of music, and want something that will take 5 minutes to set-up – the Uniti Atom is hard to beat. It’s not inexpensive but a brilliant piece of industrial design that positions Naim well for the future."

    "A forward-thinking audio classic well worth the money."

    - Ian White, ecoustics.com, October 11, 2021


    "The Best Gear for Aspiring Audiophiles" - WIRED Magazine

    "Streaming amps have gotten really great over the last few years. It used to be that anything with an internet connection sounded terrible, but that's not the case with the latest models. My high-end favorites right now are the Cambridge Audio Evo 150 ($3,000) and the Naim Uniti Atom ($3,290), which both feature gorgeous color displays and some of the best fidelity (and most glorious knobs) I've ever experienced. Both work with every major streaming service imaginable, and you can connect to them over Bluetooth too."

    - Parker Hill, WIRED Magazine, June 5, 2021


    "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."

    - Gerald Lynch, TechRadar.com, April 12, 2019


    2021 Secrets Thumbs Up Awards

    "Make no mistake, the Naim Uniti Atom is a $3300 component. At the same time, I’d be hard-pressed to find a pre-amp, amp, DAC, streaming system that sounds as good for less. If your tastes are high-end in equipment and music quality, adding a pair of speakers gets you a wonderful system for a study or a bedroom or a smaller living space."

    "I’ll admit when I started that the Naim Uniti Atom seemed like a high-priced integrated amp with a nice, modern design. But after a couple of hours, it began to grow on me. The multiplicity of inputs, the elegant controls, the album art displayed on its front screen, and the dynamic and clean sound. Over time I began to appreciate the little things, like the well-designed app. So many Hi-fi companies have crappy apps that seem like afterthoughts. The iOS app is exceptionally thought out, and I expect the Android app is the same. All apps to control components should be this good."

    "So, the Naim Uniti Atom has first-class build quality, reliable software (I saw no freezes or glitches during my testing), and it sounds as good as anything I’ve tested."

    - Mel Martin, Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, April 7, 2021


    "Where the Uniti Atom truly scores is in the home of the music/audio enthusiast who wants a versatile, convenient, and elegant solution to streaming and playback of quality audio files with the highest fidelity using some of the best technology available today. It may even find a special place in the space that true audio nut shares with his or her family and/or significant other."

    - John Richardson, Part-Time Audiophile, January 20, 2019


    "Five Stars" – What Hi-fi? Magazine

    "There probably aren’t two much more disparate pieces of music we could use for testing, but the Uniti Atom treats both with the same level of insight, regimental timing and contouring dynamics – and that's true of everything else we play that stylistically falls in between."

    "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."

    - What Hi-fi? magazine, October 28, 2018


    "Those who appreciate a satisfying a knob turn will find the Uniti Atom’s wheel a delight. As per my own experience with the Mu-so, the large rotary pulls me from my seat despite the remote and smartphone app being closer to hand. It’s simply more fun to wind the wheel than click psuedo- buttons."

    "Naim seems to understand that pumping the volume is a sign that we want more. With the Uniti Atom’s wheel, the British manufacturer maximises the pleasure derived from the most enjoyable – and most fleeting – of musical moments. Add that to an amplifier whose audible qualities better lend themselves to modern music than starchy audiophile recordings and top it off with every streaming input under the sun and the Uniti Atom hits the DAR-KO Award bullseye: Future-Fi for the Music-First Audiophile."

    - John H. Darko, Darko.Audio, July 2018


    "Naim’s Uniti Atom is closely aligned with the way most people now listen to and experience music. With support for a wide range of protocols, including built-in AirPlay and Chromecast, there’s no limit to how you can connect your devices. The Atom also looks beautiful, with a generously large display that enhances the listening experience by providing a visual connection with your music. Last but not least, it sounds great, and can drive speakers ranging from bookshelf models to towers. It may have been a long time coming, but the Uniti Atom was worth the wait."
