"We’re not the least bit surprised that the Star turns out to be so capable. Our experience of other Uniti products gave us a pretty good idea of Naim’s talent in this arena. The Star is a great addition to the range, and if you need CD replay is the obvious choice."
What Hi-Fi? says...
"eight years after the original Naim Uniti redefined what a one-box hi-fi system could do, Naim went back to the drawing board to completely reinvent the Uniti line-up. And in doing so, it’s made Uniti arguably the most future-proof – and most jaw-droppingly desirable – music platform money can buy"
Best Hi-fi One-box Solution
"The Class AB amplifier delivers a fast and powerful sound with oodles of emotion and expressive tonality for total listener engagement. The clue’s in the name. This all-in-one is a sonic Star."

CD and Streaming
The Uniti Star stands out from other all-in-one systems thanks to built-in high-performance CD playback. Users can rip discs for a personalised music collection too! In addition to CDs, you can seamlessly connect to leading music streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, and Qobuz, granting access to an extensive range of songs and playlists. With Apple AirPlay 2, Google’s Chromecast built-in, UPnP and Bluetooth, streaming from personal devices has never been easier while sounding great.
Superior TV Sound and Multiroom Audio
In addition to its impressive music capabilities, the Uniti Star enhances your TV audio experience by connecting via HDMI ARC. This means you can add cinematic stereo sound quality to your favourite films, shows and games. Its multiroom audio feature allows for music playback across multiple rooms simultaneously, creating an enveloping whole-home sound experience.
Effortless App Control and Voice Assistance
The user-friendly Naim App, available for both Apple and Android devices, offers intuitive control over the Uniti Star and other Naim devices. Access to your music library, favourite radio stations, streaming services, and playlists has never been more straightforward. The app also supports voice control functionality via Google Assistant and Apple’s Siri, providing a hands-free, convenient user experience.
Premium Amplification Circuitry
Equipped with a Class AB amplifier, the Uniti Star ensures you hear the superior sonic quality your hi-fi products promise to deliver. This amplifier is based on the circuitry found in Naim's five-star Nait 5si Stereo Integrated Amplifier and boasts a strong 70W of power per channel. This amount of power should easily drive most speakers of a similar calibre and, as can be expected from a Naim product, will last you many years.
Versatile Connectivity Options
The Uniti Star provides an array of connectivity options, including but not limited to optical TOSLink, coaxial RCA, BNC, RCA, five-pin DIN, USB Type A sockets, and an SD card slot. Support for Chromecast Built-In, Apple AirPlay, Bluetooth (AptX HD), internet radio, UPnP (streaming files stored on your network), and Roon Ready ensures compatibility with various devices and streaming platforms.
