Jsqt yes we would have to agree, we are Naim dealers and in love with the Atom.
Today there are a host of fantastic intergrated amplifiers which may challenge or outperform separates.
Also the very fact that you don’t need any additonal intereconnects, power cords or have to take up a huge amount of space with an amp, dac, streamer makes these kinds of products ideal for many people just getting into audio.
Add to this Roon endpoint, a great native app, the ability to get Naim streaming speakers the Muso line for additional Rooms, makes the Naim Atom a very special start to introducing someone into high end.
We love the Atom so much we have two on display the first in our starter audio room to show how people can start with the Muso the streaming speaker for $1,599 and then move into higher performance sound by moving to an Atom with either a set of bookshelves or floorstanders to compare the Sonos/Naim Muso all in one streaming speaker vs moving into a real high end system Naim Uniti Atom plus seperate loudspeakers.
Our second Atom is in our audiolab where we compare the Atom to the Naim Uniti Star and Uniti Nova, vs Hegel, Micromega, NAD Masters serie, Krell and other high end streaming dac/amps.
Other cool Naim Uniti things are the ability to connect to Android as well as IOS devices, the Naim Uniti line is one of the very few audio products that have Chromecast streaming as well as Airplay, Blue Tooth, as well as built in Tidal and Spotify.
And yes the Naim Nova and the Star do sound signiigantly better than the Atom.
The fact that there are more and more great integrated amp/dac/streamers on the market makes it much easier to buld a great system these days.
We put out the Krell K300i and that also sounds great but different then the Nova with a different feature set, we also just put out the new Hegel H390 which is breaking in and we need to do the Naim vs Hegel demo as well the point is more and more outstanding reasonably priced electronic solutions are here.
Congratulations for understanding the fantastic qualities of the Naim Uniti Atom, we have run our Atom with the ATC SCM 19 and most people wouldn’t think a 40 watt amp would make magic with such a small amp but wow if you have a decent size room nd don’t push to ear bleed levels the Naim Atom shows you the joys of Class A/B Naim amplification which makes the other digital amp based competitors in the dust sonically.
