About the Uniti Nova
The Naim Audio Uniti Nova is Naim’s flagship Uniti-series all-in-one hi-fi component: a network music streamer, DAC, preamplifier, headphone amplifier, internet-radio player and Class AB integrated amplifier in one chassis. It delivers 80 W per channel into 8 ohms and combines Naim’s NP800 streaming platform with wired/wireless networking, USB and S/PDIF digital inputs, HDMI ARC, analogue inputs, Bluetooth aptX HD, and speaker, pre/subwoofer and headphone outputs. It is designed as a complete two-channel system source/amplifier when paired with passive loudspeakers. The standard Uniti Nova remains listed by Naim Audio; it should not be confused with the higher-power Uniti Nova PE, which uses a different Class D amplifier stage.
