Naim today confirmed that it is launching four new models in its Uniti Series. They will be given their first public showings at The Indulgence Show in Hammersmith, the Son et Image show in Paris and the Rocky Mountain Audio Show in Denver all during October.

The advanced connectivity will unleash music wherever it is stored. New Uniti is unique, with bit-perfect ripping and music serving technologies, a completely new and state-of-the-art streaming platform delivering a unique superior feature set, over- the-air updates, beautiful industrial design and true Naim high-fidelity sound.’
