About the CI-Uniti 102
The Naim CI-Uniti 102 is a versatile 2-channel streaming amplifier from Naim's Custom Installation (CI) series, engineered to blend seamlessly into any living space while delivering high-fidelity audio. It combines a Class D power amplifier with dual ESS 9033Q DACs and a SHARC 21563 DSP processor, making it suitable for whole-house audio systems, multi-room installations, and integration with Focal in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. The unit features a minimalist design with a compact 1U rack-mount form factor (44.5mm height) and includes standard 19-inch rack mounting brackets. It supports extensive streaming services including TIDAL, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, Spotify Connect, and internet radio, along with AirPlay 2 and Google Cast. The amplifier can be easily controlled via the Focal & Naim Manager app and integrates with home automation systems such as Crestron, Control4, RTI, Savant, and Elan. Two independent stereo RCA outputs enable flexible configuration for subwoofers, sub-zones, or additional amplification via the CI-NAP 108. The unit operates efficiently in Class D topology, generating minimal heat and consuming only 70W during typical use.
