Naim UnitiQute - who's heard one?

Wondering specifically about the quality of the head amp and streaming FLAC via the UPnP protocol (which is primarily how I will use it if I get one).

I question the lack of a controller for searching through large libraries, but maybe they address it in some way i can't find in the literature.

I hope I'm not hijacking the the thread since the OP asked about the head amp but I haven't seen much (outside the Naim forum) about the Uniti from actual owners here.

For the owners out there, would you be satisfied if the Uniti was what you used in your main system? Or maybe their are owners out there that are using in their main system?

I'm consider the Nait XS/Naim DAC combo or the Uniti for my main system. Thanks for any input.

Cheers,

Scott

Kbarkamian, thanks for the reply. Great info, especially the fact that the Uniti seemed as good as the 5 series combo.

I need to confirm it but I believe the Uniti also has an active pre which would distinguish it a bit from the Nait 5i which has a passive pre. I've always preferred active over passive with pres, at least within my budget.

I will be moving up from low end NAD gear so I'm hoping the Uniti will be enough of an upgrade but I have a feeling if I try the Nait XS/DAC combo I'll be in trouble.
