Improvements you would like to see from Naim in 2019

As posted elsewhere recently:
I'd like the ability to multiroom from my Superuniti2 to my kitchen Muso QB with the audio from my TV, connected to the SU by an optical link.
Currently, you cannot multiroom from this input.

New Classic pre / power amps 

Why? I'd be happy that these are in production for such a long time ... also the power amps have had a DR update a couple of years ago...

NAP500 with volume control and one input :-)

The opportunity to turn off ALL the lighting on the Atom and Nova, please. 

Go back or at least give the possibility to go back to the green lit logo on the Uniti series.

My wishlist for the Uniti range:

- Toggle on/off display + light (absolute darkness)

- Custom AV Fixed Volume/Amplification Level for the analog input (the AV Fixed Level sets the volume to 100 by default (pure amplification) but introduces hiss) or at least custom default volume level per input

- Open API for home automation or at least Logitech Harmony compatibility

- Root + custom firmware-friendly openness (this one is a joke).

The Unitis are absolute monsters regarding sound quality. The aforementioned QoL features would make them the perfect products for me. 

Respectfully,

Ardem

Absolutely agree. Also - I don’t appear to be able to multiroom when using AirPlay, e.g. when playing a track from my iPhone on the Muso, the multiroom option is not available if I want the track to be “streamed” on my Qb unit. 

As Gazza suggested HIi Res downloads direct into the Core using the Core app.

I would also like to see a Single Box Headphone Amp with  no need for a separate Power Supply but with remote volume.

Naim please don’t change the Classic design I much prefer it to the look of my Core after all it has stood the test of time.

A flagship headphone amp tuned for Utopia! 

Sort out the way that compilations are handled, by, in my case, the UnitiServe. Forlorn hope, I know.

An updated 272, styled like a Nova, with a Class A Headphone Amp and the new streaming platform, with updated power amp in matching style. 

DIrect his-res downloads to the Core.

Show more details of the album selection offered through Tidal in the app. There are often multiple versions with the same title and cover - I have no idea what the differences are, or indeed if different versions are presented in the same order each time.

Some smart new kit on the way I’m led to understand.

I've heard a rumour about a rumour .

I am not sure I need anything to be honest, attended the launch of the NDX2 and ND 555, did this want me to rush out and replace my current NDX - well no to be honest I only use my NDX around 5% of music playing so I feel I can get a bigger improvement elsewhere in my system only use UpNP or Iradio - so one BIG plus would be paradise in FLAC but I can live with 320 for the time being 

upgraded my 300 to DR in march of 2018 - that took an already suberb AMP on to another level all together, QED on this move

I don't want MQA or Roon - I only use Asset to control my NDX and at 6.1 I am more than happy on this, NDX plays all current forms of digital music at high red inc DSD

Vinyl is my prefered source, have been more than happy with my old stageline for 16 years, love my 282 so question for me is to upgrade to 252 or not?

I would like to visit Salibury in 2019 which I hope my dealer is going to be working on

I'm just enjoying the Music and with some of the vinyl I had over Christmas there is a whole lot more of that now and I did not need to change my system to get it

happy camper!

I've changed my mind. Rather than an updated 272, I would like an updated high end integrated amp that would partner the NDX2. Think SN3 with the Uniti volume control and nothing else - all operated through the NDX2 and Naim app. A higher end version of the Nova with the same styling, but more grip and depth. Would be an awesome 2 box solution, and the market has a demand for high end with low box counts. I'm happy to be involved with the design and testing.

I would like to see a new, more powerful version of the NAP 100 in a design that matches the Atom.

Could you be a little bit more specific?

I could, but then I'd have to kill myself.

Please, just a hint?

Please no!! No more products where you have to use an 'app' to do anything. I notice the new NDS5XS is controlled only using an 'app' :-( Only app control is the reason I didn't buy Mu-So for the kitchen - went the Roberts route.... okay not there musically but at least it has buttons on it! Why does everything have to be done through a phone nowadays? :-(

Then Harry will just have to amputate a limb.

Well, you know how rumours go.....

OK, I'll give up ...

You just saved my life.

Simply because it offers convenience and flexibility that a remote cannot hope to match.

I have an iPad that I use almost exclusively with ‘apps’ as a front end for most of my audio systems, but it could just as easily be an android tablet or phone. I don’t think I have ever used the supplied remote with any of my streaming devices - Naim, Linn or Marantz.

These streaming devices offer superb user experiences with their accompanying apps, way above that offered by remote controlled CD players or cassettes of the past. Why would you choose to limit your flexibility by reverting back to an old fashioned and limited remote control?
