"As a CD player it sounds detailed and focused. We play Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring and the Naim copes with this demanding piece well. The unit sounds organised and stable throughout, coping with the music’s savage dynamic sweeps and complexity with control and composure."

"As a server, the Naim is also perfectly capable. Obviously, the system is setup for audio (although you probably could use it for terminal document storage if you really wanted to) but it has no trouble serving two different tracks to other devices while doing something else itself."

"It doesn’t matter the source or the material – I used everything from a 320kbps Spotify stream of Yo La Tengo’s “From a Motel 6” to a 24bit/192kHz copy of Aretha Franklin’s “Dr Feelgood (Love is a Serious Business)” via a CD of The Upsetters’ “Super Ape” and a vinyl copy of “Clear Spot” by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band. It doesn’t matter the volume level – the Star can drive any and all speakers effectively from very low to recklessly high levels. The Naim Uniti Star sounds excellent."

"Sonically, no one will ever find the Uniti Star bland. It’s a positive and purposeful performer that doesn’t need to do any soul searching before it goes out to bat."
