From NaimUniti to Nac 272 & Nap 250 Upgrade...First Impressions...

...I write this 'review'  to share my experience and hopefully help others considering upgrade options...

Like many here my hifi journey included endlessly chopping and changing separates, interconnects etc...searching for a harmonious and satisfying system...quite enjoyed this journey actually however it was ultimately frustrating and led me to seek out a simple solution capable of providing decent  sounds sans boxes and multicolour leads littering the lounge!

I purchased a Uniti, my first acquaintance with Naim...I had been  bitten.

The first upgrade after a couple of years was a new board and my first experience of  Naims fantastic customer service;second upgrade was the acquisition of an ex Naim employees recased Olive 250;which provided the sound with some weight and added detail...lovely job for a year or so until realising that I no longer used the fine CD player relying upon Spotfiy for my musical provisions...

So whilst in Provence for the month of June the 250 was dispatched to Naim for a service,once again their support and service was exemplary...

During my break I toyed with the idea of my next upgrade (streamer) so purchased a Chord Mojo but some kind and helpful souls on here advised me that attempts at Dac experimentation wouldn't work with the Uniti; the Mojo now lives in the car (BMW 6 series with a decent 10 speaker system) connected to my phone and stereo providing excellent sound...

So following many positive reviews and personal experiences on here I purchased a Nac272 which I connected to my 250 , and Spendor A6s and Naca 5  today...Goodness me! What a substantial and positive upgrade,even my wife,previously unable to hear and improvements when I tweaked commented positively on the improvement to sound quality; saying how much clearer and cleaner the music was! The step up from the Uniti is enormous, there is bass weight I had never experienced before, clarity and insight leading to previously well known tracks sounding completely different, so much more detail to the instruments and their timbre , the soundstage has expanded exponentially, voices show their subtly and character like never before,there is a cleanliness to the sound and quite surprisingly the PRAT is suddenly no longer hiding timidly!

Obviously I was hoping to find an improvement however I wasn't prepared for it to have been so obvious and unequivocal...I also know that I shall be a devoted Naim customer because quite honestly why would I ever buy anything else? Their equipment is just so bloody good...
