For those who aren't about to rip
Posted by: Guido Fawkes on 13 April 2009
The HDX may have the best ripping engine in the world, but I don't want to rip any CDs or digitalise my vinyl.
So why post here - well I do want a nice office system that can play files I've downloaded to my computer. If that same system could play Internet Radio then that would be fantastic. If, and I know I'm asking a lot, it could get DAB stations like Radio Five Live and BBC 7 then I'd think it was even better. Now, if that same device could let me plug in an iPod and play music from a solid state memory device like a USB stick then I'd be almost ready to buy. I say almost because I'd need a bit of amplification, say around 50 watts per channel - bit like the Nait 5i. Oh and could it play CDs too commensurate with the quality of the excellent CD5i.
The clincher would be if I could get all that at under £2k - I've been waiting for my friendly dealer to tell me he has such a device, but so far he hasn't got such a beast in stock.
Oh well - perhaps my expectations were too great, but the product I've described would be ideal for my little office.
Just a thought, Rotf

What? Are you asking our permission to buy a Uniti? Sorry. NaimUniti.
Just tell the rest of us how good it is ASAP.

I have a empty space in my office too ROTF...! I was thinking a pair of nice n-Sats to go with it, all sitting pretty amongst the Macs, although I'm not sure what they are going to stand on !? 
An official update would be nice/helpful, but I guess if dealers don't even have dates then there's a delay of sorts...
Yes Winky, £1995 inc VAT.
