Review

I have a ligament of Rotel 1572 and I am very pleased with the choice. The columns-Focal 826 cables also replaced with American acoustics. Ivan Saraev advised, a low bow to him for participation. The sound is detailed, transparent, but sometimes it seems a little steel. I have 3 systems and everyone plays differently and not to say which one is better. Although the price is the most expensive. The Rotel player sometimes shows whims. So, he does not always read pirate discs, regardless of their freshness. You have to listen to them on other systems. (This does not happen with branded ones). He has a bad habit without permission, to arbitrarily close the tray, even if his fingers are in his way. Moreover, the tray moves quickly and decisively, only have time to hide your fingers. This has to be taken into account. Once he stopped giving a disk. I had to take the player in my hands and literally shake it out, for the tray came out empty. Then it passed by itself, it resolved ... I realized for myself that the more expensive the player, the more moody he is. By the way, not everything plays on MP3 either, including licensed discs.

Excellent sound and set of functionality. It is perfect for tasks when you need high -quality sound and saving space for placement of devices. It works with the Naim Uniti Core component (used as a central musical server for all my NAIM devices) and with USB SSD discs. Work in conjunction with Uniti Core is a separate topic. This is very convenient if you have several NAM devices located in different rooms. Excellent, recognizable Naim’ovsky Sound!

Pros

Integration with NAIM devices as a single storage of music files for all devices

Cons

Support only of its own Playlist’ov format

Review

The device serves as a single repository of sound files and will be primarily interesting to those who own several NAIM devices. For example, Naim Mu-So, MU-SO QB, Naim Uniti Atom, Naim Uniti Star and other devices supporting UPNP playback. In my case, all of the listed devices are available in the house and are located in different rooms. Naim Uniti Core acts for them a single storage of music files. This allows you to easily create Playlist’s from music files stored in various folders on the Naim Uniti Core and play them on any NAIM devices located in different rooms. For example, a child in his room listens to fairy tales, in the kitchen-living room other family members prepare dinner and listen to their chosen compositions placed in Playlist’y, and you listen to your favorites in your room on the Naim Uniti Star. Music loading in the Naim Uniti Core is carried out in two ways: A) Rip your CD. Naim Uniti Core performs CDs on the inner disk (purchased separately, SSD or HDD. At the end of 2020, there are no problems with the place on the disks, it is worth considering SDD) in WAV or FLAC format (for your choice). It is connected through the Internet to the database and prescribes automatically metadata (performer, album, composition name, etc.); B) downloading files over the network to the folder \ downloads \. I used this method, because I have a large collection of music in WAV and FLAC formats; C) download/playing files from USB carriers; The moderator of musical content can be one person who will load music for the whole family into one storage. (Backup is provided and can be performed on another network storage or on a USB disk. Of the minuses, I only note the limited work with WAV format, due to restrictions on the support of metadata in it. With FLAC and MP3 formats (if someone is required) there are no such difficulties. In my case, I had to convert WAV in FLAC, and then in a separate program on a laptop, prescribe all tags (metadata) to ensure further indexation and the possibility of searching for Naim Uniti Core. If someone needs it, then you can connect a good DAC or an amplifier with built-in DACs to the NAIM Uniti Core, and use as another music playback device, installing it in another room. Ultimately, we get a good multiple, which allows you to reproduce Playlist’i from your favorite compositions on all devices in the house. And if someone needs it, then synchronously on all devices, if in the Party house.

Pros

Delightful sound, very convenient tactile manual loading mechanism

Cons

Only if the lack of digital outputs, but the sound is beautiful and from the player

Review

He works in tandem with Naim Uniti Atom. It gives out a delightful sound (rock, jazz, classic), a very convenient tactile manual loading mechanism - a tray opens manually (holds on a magnet), after placing a disk on a stand, it needs to be crushed by a magnetic puck, a pleasant, heavy and convenient control panel. I am very pleased with the acquisition
