About the Naim Uniti Star

Eric A.

An all-in-one component

The Naim Uniti Star can serve as the centerpiece of a stereo sound system all by itself. It offers 70 watts per channel to drive a pair of speakers, and it has a convenient array of digital and analog inputs if you want to connect other components or a compatible TV. This super-versatile component also has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in for music streaming. And if that's not enough, it's also a CD player with a "ripping" function that lets you make bit-perfect digital file copies of your favorite discs.

Streaming features

The Uniti Star lets you stream music from compatible services like Spotify® Connect, TIDAL and vTuner internet radio (subscriptions may be required). It's compatible with high-resolution music files like WAV, FLAC, DSD, AAC and more. Apple® AirPlay® 2 gives you easy wireless access to music from an iPhone®, iPod® or iPad®. Chromecast built-in opens up even more listening possibilities from compatible apps on your mobile devices. And you can take control wirelessly, with the Naim app for Apple® and Android™.

My hands-on experience with the Naim Uniti Star

We set up a multi-zone listening demo at Crutchfield HQ, with the Naim Mu-so Qb, Naim Mu-so 2, Naim Uniti Atom and Naim Uniti Star components — with each functioning as a separate zone. I used the Uniti Star as the primary component, and added the others one-by-one in the Naim app's party mode. I found the app very intuitive to use, and loved that I had options: I could change volume, mute, and unmute each zone individually, or use a "group volume" slider to control all of them at once. I used my phone as a remote, but all of the functions can be accessed via the included handheld remote control, or the delightful touchscreen/volume dial located on top.

The Uniti Star was driving a pair of Focal Aria 936 floor-standing speakers, and the amp's 70 watts handled them well. A group of Crutchfield Advisors put the system through its paces, jumping from EDM to classic rock to bombastic hip-hop. The system handled each genre well, delivering enough power for presence and authority on a bass-heavy album, or delicate nuance on a more subtle track. 

The Uniti Star can play (and rip!) CDs, but I found it most useful as a streaming device. A myriad of popular streaming services can be accessed directly through the Naim app, and built-in Bluetooth allows you to stream anything your device can access. And, to be honest, the impact of Naim's gorgeous external design cannot be overstated. The Uniti Star's elegant chassis features a full-color display screen that shows cover art and track information, which I really loved.

For ease of use, excellent sound, and good looks to match, the Naim Uniti Star is one-of-a-kind in my book.

Digital and analog connections

The Uniti Star can be the only component in your cabinet, but it doesn't have to be. There's an HDMI ARC port so you can improve the sound coming from your TV, for instance. The back panel also offers two optical digital and two coaxial digital inputs (as well as an ultra-rare digital BNC connector). Analog sources can be connected via a stereo RCA input or a five-pin DIN input (again, very rare in the home audio world).

There are connection options for using external storage devices, too. There are two USB Type A ports — one on the front and one on the back — for playing music files stored on thumb drives. The rear USB input also accepts hard drives for ripping your CDs. And there's a slot that can accommodate an SD memory card (not included), either for playback or music storage.

  • Isolated Analog & Digital Circuitry: Extreme care has been taken to protect sensitive components in the audio signal path from digital circuitry-isolated circuit boards for both analog and digital signals, optical isolators to transfer information between the two sides of the products, and careful testing and analysis by Naim audio experts to catch any stray interference.
  • Precision Volume Control: A premium rotary volume control adjusts the volume level in the analog domain to a digital resolution. It features ultra-smooth rotation and backlit illumination. The lit volume segments are reflected in the same fashion on Uniti Star's intuitive remote control and will adjust accordingly on the top surface ring if the volume is changed remotely.

Burr Brown DAC: A premium Burr Brown DAC, as well as the finest-quality SMD circuitry is used to deliver exceptional audiophile level sound quality. premium Burr Brown DAC to deliver exceptional audiophile level sound quality.

Q
Can you stream and play to wireless power speakers at the same time?
fmfayiii  Oct 06, 2022
1 answer
A
If you're using the Mu-so series of powered speakers throughout your home, then it would be possible to stream to them at the same time as you're streaming to the Uniti Star. This would require using the Naim app for multiroom control. This would not be possible with other brands/models of powered speakers.
