UK-based Naim has announced the launch of a new headphone version of its popular Uniti Atom mini audio system. As its name suggests, the Naim Uniti Atom Headphone Edition is designed strictly for headphone listening and is a variant of the multi-award-winning Uniti Atom music streamer and integrated amplifier. The Naim Uniti Atom Headphone Edition is really three components in one. Its built-in amplifier, conservatively rated at 40 watts, will make all but the most power-hungry speakers sing. Its precision DAC circuitry will extract more musical clarity and presence from digital sources such as a disc player or TV. And with built-in Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth®, users can stream music from a phone or the web with the touch of a button.
With Naim’s free control app downloaded to the user’s smartphone or tablet, one can make the Uniti Atom part of a Naim wireless multi-room audio system. The system uses Google Chromecast built-in transmitting through a home’s Wi-Fi®. Chromecast built-in gives users access to all one’s favorite music services right in the Naim app, such as TIDAL, Spotify, Deezer, Qobuz, and more. Remotely control your Naim components through the app. Group connected speakers so that the same song plays throughout the house, or only on certain systems. Or have every Naim component accessing a different source and playing a different song. You can also build playlists with the app and browse thousands of internet radio stations.
