Naim Uniti Nova PE edition

[Bjorn]

When it comes to Uniti Nova, you can now choose class A/B or class D according to need, liking and taste. Nothing wrong with that imo. Otherwise, I cant see that Naim will switch to class D in the Classic range, and beyond that, simply because class A/B sounds better according to Naim.

A guy here replaced 552/500 dr with the top Aavik integrated, using class D amps. He said the sound is more effortless and refined.
Can’t verify it.

@Bjorn

se, I see no risk

Risk? Why is it risky? That suggests negative conviction, not a recognition that Naim would only make one if sound quality met their requirements.

Sigh… Whatever IB…

@frenchrooster

top Aavik

I have listened to it Rooster. So boring that the clocks stopped - Gotland saying

Primare don’t use Purifi in the I35; they use their own UFDP2 modules.

They do use Hypex NCore on their multi channel power amp.

Good to have another point of view on it

[Innocent_Bystander]

Regardless, I note you changed your post. The question re Naim converting fully or primarily to Class D including its highest quality amps surely depends on whether/when their development team produces a design that matches or beats the sound quality of its class A/B products. It may happen in the near future, or might never happen.

Amazing…this thread is still going!
The question/doubt proposed has a VERY simple resolution. Have a listen ( a non-biased one).

Anyone on this forum bought one yet?

Yes, see this thread about adding a TT to one

Turntable with integrated amp

Hi, I’m enjoying my Naim Uniti PE and I now wish to add a turntable, One of the reasons I chose the Uniti is it’s one box solution. So ideally I don’t want more components than I need. I appreciate that integrated turntables are generally at the lower end of the market but I’ve been looking at the Cambridge Audio Alva TT. Does anyone have any views or suggestions on this, is there any other ‘higher end’ integrated turntables I should be considering. Or is this a compromise too far and woul…

I had it (280) on demo a few times but never bought it, I realised I wanted to like it more than I actually did

My brain sucks.

I read an interview with the designer and, like others, they did a lot of work to improve the modules they used. And on top of that they filled the amps with various wonder-stuff from their sister-company Ansuz. The 280 reduce th grayness almost completely, but after a few evenings you heard it.

The guy had some interesting views on balanced connections I never could verify. The Aaviks I tried were all single-ended.

Found it. It was Michael Børresen talking about HF-noise being worse in balanced cables.

This review is very encouraging.

I have a very solid system, NC222 with 555PsDR and NAP300DR. Very happy with it, but eventually I’m looking at downsizing as not a fan of 4 boxes, spaghetti cables at the back of the Fraim, etc. Especially in a small space (Hong Kong here). I should give the Nova PE a listen. Or maybe Linn Selekt.
