Here’s a video giving a general overview of how to set up a Unit Core (guess who does the Voice-over);
Naim provide further information including a Quick Start guide and an online support portal on their website, here;

Just tried to change the drive in my core. Existing drive is a 10tb HDD unit, with around 4tb of music on it.
Decide to change to an SSD,
And have a Samsung 8tb unit.
I put the SSD into the core and set up as a store, with the core preparing the drive for correct file structure, all ok.
Then removed the SSD and used a separate unit to copy all the music files across from the HDD to the SSD.
Look at the SSD drive with a PC and all correct files are there.
I re fit the SSD into the core and …
Hi,
A question for David Henden, and others:
I believe, the above items in the title have been discussed before, but just wondering if they could be compared and contrasted in brief thumbnail responses? For instance:
1). Hibernation: simply pressing start button on the Core to begin a new listening session.
2). Reboot: Pressing start button in for 20 to 25 seconds, then later pressing start button once to complete reboot.
3). Reboot Alt: Disconnect power cord from unit, then reconnect cord …
I think he may rather be trying to compensate for the rather limited size of his internal music store!
Even though this is a very odd way of using the Core, by changing music store locations on a frequent basis, I think it should work fine, although I have never heard of anyone who does this and I haven’t tried it myself.
Incidentally @quad57 the music store is that location you define as the music store from time to time. It’s where the Core saves its own rips. You can have many other locatio…
I have had my Uniti Core for a couple of weeks now (the other part of the system is a Uniti Atom) and I am very happy with the functionality, sound quality and appearance. I installed an internal SSD and used a portable HDD for backup. I understand that the Core keeps all the drives running non-stop. That is obviously no problem for the internal SSD, but I would have hoped it could have spun down the external backup drive as this is only used on an occasional basis (it can be scheduled for da…
And a very comprehensive, and potentially very useful thread from forum member Lownote about some of the lessons he learned ripping CDs on the Unit Core;
Recently I ripped my CD library using my new Naim UnitiCore. In addition to the standard ripping, I wanted to embed the metadata created by Naim Core directly into the resulting WAV files so that a non-Naim audio server could use the metadata, and to integrate my rips with my existing audio files stored on a NAS.
Being new to this, I had a lot to learn and I couldn’t find a comprehensive primer on the topic, so I kept notes. The following are things I wish I knew, or had considered, in the be…
