Naim

Naim Audio began in the 1960s when racing driver and audiophile Julian Vereker started recording live performances. He soon realized that none of the components on the market could recreate the sound as he wanted. So, as a self-taught engineer, he built the solution himself with the NAP 250 power amplifier. Since then, Naim Balanced Audio has leveraged mechanical and electrical engineering to design cutting-edge audio products. They've grown from a modest shop in England to over 200 employees and gained a devout following from music lovers worldwide. Their range of products includes streaming players, turntables, CD players, DACs, amplifiers, power supplies and cables. Each delivers high-performance audio through expert circuitry, deliberate materials and build, and expert engineering. The goal is finding the 'The Voice of Naim' with no coloration or interference. Their quality is so exceptional that Naim is the go-to partner for Bentley audio systems. The Naim Uniti Atom is a great example of the company's forward thinking. This streaming player brings the award-winning Naim performance in a beautiful design. All while delivering a modern listening experience with native Spotify, Apple, and Tidal streaming. Also listen to digital music through AirPlay, Chromecast or Bluetooth playback.
