Hello, im looking for opinion about Naim SuperUniti. My goal is to listen music from tidal via wifi as router is in other room + connect it to tv to watch movies from Netflix/HBO go/rakuten etc. Speakers Elac FS 217
Can purchase it from second hand for around 1500 euro made in 2013 but i never use it before and its not easy to find many opinions about it.
Hi, I think the Superuniti is a great player for the money. You should be able to connect it to your TV via optical. However, WiFi is not great on the Superuniti, and I would strongly recommend that you use a wired Ethernet connection. If you really canāt connect it back to your router, you could always wire it to a local wireless device that can connect to your router over WiFi.
Problem is that wifi module lose connection or its about bad range even if its pretty good? Router is not so far around 3-4m behinde 2 walls. Is superuniti be able to connect to 5ghz wi-fi?
The range of the 2.4 GHz WiFi is not good and it canāt use 5 GHz WiFi. Tidal works fine but the buffer on all the older Naim streamers is quite small and if you have poor connectivity where you live back to the Tidal server, then you may get drop outs or streams stopping. This isnāt your own broadband Iām talking about, itās the internet connectivity further in the public network.
Apart from that the SuperUniti is excellent. I have two myself and Iām very happy with them.
Hi, I have a SuperUniti and it is a fantastic bit of kit. I use it mainly for FM Radio via a roof arial and for streaming from my own NAS which is at the other end of my house near the router. I use ethernet plugs which work very well indeed. The music from the SuperUniti is top class and I have owned it from new. I have not used any streaming services with it, so canāt comment on how it interfaces with Tidal etc.
Try a powerline ( not the Naim cable) I had the same problem. Superuniti in a room and the wifi router in another. I was disappointed by the wifi connection so I decided to buy a Netgear powerline. Easy to setup,inexpensive and really effective.About the Superuniti IMHO itās a remarkable unit and you will really enjoy it.
I thoroughly recommend use of the full fat Powerlineā¦ the improvement is not subtle. I think the Superuniti is a wonderful bit of Naim kit and despite there being newer I have no intention of āupdatingā any time soon.
Personally I wouldnāt bother with adding a Naim Powerline to a SuperUniti, at least not in the short term and not unless you can get one cheap second hand.
I also have a SuperUniti and really enjoy it. I chose it over the Uniti Atom two years ago and Iām glad I did. However, mine is connected via Ethernet, never tried WiFi.
Tidal is integrated so you use the Naim app to control your Tidal music.
Iāve recently added a innuos zen mini to act as CD ripper/storage/server and to be able to use Tidal, Qobuz and Roon with the SuperUniti. It brings the Uniti up a level in sound quality.
Speakers are Kudos X2
