Hi, I have a Naim Uniti from 2009. What is the best way to go, recap or buy a nap 200?

Seems to be a topic that rarely, if ever gets answered. I too have asked this question with no response. My original Uniti is also similar age, and I have wondered what servicing, or if any, is done for amplifier section. Regardless, mine still sounds great, so…

Ok, good to know! 
why must my posts have to be approved all the time??
They don’t normally, just for the first post.
Sorry but I don’t know the answer either. I still have my old Uniti. I had it serviced and am sure it came back sounding better but not sure what they did.
Caps should last a long time before needing replacement and 11 years isn’t particularly old for Naim.
Out of interest, did you have yours upgraded for 24/192 streamer upgrade?
It’s not just a matter of economics but also a matter of how much the unit means to you.
For example, few people plan on recapping a UQ or UQ2 because the cost of the recap isn’t much different from the resale value. But if you have a Uniti, and love how it sounds, then why not recap it, give it some TLC and keep it for another decade/indefinitely?
I’m certainly recapping my UQ2 in a few years.

You told the truth? 
Hi! No it is not upgraded to 24/192 streamer, did it made a difference?
yes, I bought a used nap 200 from 2009. The sound gained more power and the soundscape became significantly larger!
Hi, good thinking!
Yes, I like the uniti to!

I’ve not upgraded either so don’t know but it allows the unit to play higher definition audio files (along with Spotify and other streaming services).
I’ve since bought a Nova so this would’ve been on the list but not now.
