Whatever Naim do with the slight product gap between NC200 series and the Uniti series , they will have to keep it very simple.
There is probably a market for a SN3 replacement , not sure about much else
Might also need to rationalise their uniti range. I get the Atom and Nova but wonder about the Star !!
The CI-Uniti 102 is in the works, whatever it might be. A custom instal thing. Cassette deck. Toaster. Who knows?
Core Intelligent (Uniti) - Software/Hardware version 102, perhaps?
Youād imagine there would be decent future volumes in a new integrated amp (fancy volume control, optical system automation, NPX 300 compatible, XLR inputs/outputs) and modestly priced streamer (self powered only, screen less, NC casing, XLR etc), hence my candid suggestions in Post No.1
My guidance here being what wasnāt made End of Life from the Classic range, including the SN3, NDX2 and the XS and 5 Series products, none of which I imagine theyāre manufacturing new in significant quantities and probably relying mainly on existing dealer network demo/stock inventory.
I also checked my dealers demo stock sale page today and itās chock a block with 500 Series and even an ex demo statement system, may be coincidence but itās kit they tend to not refresh frequently as a rule.
Iāve heard reliable rumors about a SuperNova.
I think that makes sense, and more so than a revised SN3. It would logically fill the gap between the Nova and the 222. And the updated Core to match.
But it must be a surround processor otherwise the apes wonāt sound from everywhere.
My guesses:
Yawn!
1 - Makes sense, although the SuperNova suggestion above might have legs as well
2 - I canāt see them making lower tier preamps, Iād wonder what/how youād cost down a NAC 332?
3 - You already have the NPX TT which could fill that gap (Type 1 + 2) at Ā£2699
4 - Tough one, thereās a place for something like this, I question the true volume/demand though, and the need to keep the ranging simple and with a more consolidated supply chain, Iād expect this price point would be best served by something like an Atom, namely more integrated feature set.
Tired after building that Titanic I assume 
LOL!
But I have already bought a ticket for the show, and I know where my first stop will be 
(Gawd, my typing is crap this eveningā¦.it must be because that Pixie is walking over the tablet, or maybe itās the second glass of Scotch 
)
Yeah Iāll be going, on the Friday, itās local enough to not be a stretch and usually good fun.
Iām planning on Friday as well. Saints are at home on Saturday and Sueās birthday is Sunday - with daughters in attendance - a busy weekend!
Thereās a market for an integrated amp in the Ā£10 - 15k area. Iāve no idea why Naim are not exploiting this when all their competitors are.
Certainly a new classic SN3 pushing out 100 watts into 8 ohms
A market for that I would have thought with the npx 300 ps
A Super Duper Nait (SDN) perhaps?
I reckon on NAIT 200 if anything, youād imagine also that something like that would be relatively easy to align against other New Classic products (NSC 222 and NAP 250 in particular), from a components and manufacturing perspective.
I really donāt see it - I think the 200 and 300 series are fully baked. I think thereās an open question on how the uniti perhaps evolves into a 100 series and the big question regarding where the supernait sits. There really needs to be a higher level integrated though.
I hear you sir, thereās pent up demand as you highlight, Iāve certainly no more insight than the rest of us, but interesting to see where the āhot spotsā are amongst us, a decent spec integrated and ncDAC seem to be popular at least!
