New Product Announcement on Thursday

'Infinite possibilities' is either silly marketing hype or, a real first stage attempt to create the infinite improbability drive of the Heart of Gold (H2G2).

Mine's a cup of Petunias in a sea of tea-flavoured vinyl.

What a statement!

Don't be mislead my the 253 counter:  the successor of the 250.2 is the 250DR, soon to be superceeded by the Ueberuniti's right shoebox compartment...

Hmm, right shoebox, left shoebox, and right+left shoebox is already 3 new products...

Sorry, I narrowly missed the 253 counter... now at 255

What's this obsession with counting products? One product, 3 views.

Well actually the previous was 256 so this is now 257 unless...

I'm simply not keeping pace...

Could someone prepare something decent for reply Nr. 272, please?

I really dig the soundtrack: random digital clicks: vinyl surface noise re-imagined: a surface noise generator for authentic high resolution analogue replay.

Ladies and gentlemen I can reveal that, with all the powers of Valhalla and Asgaard at my disposal, I have ascertained that the product is, in fact, the Naim Aro.2 for the 21st century! Analogue Rules Okay?

'Infinite possibilities' and my 'music collection reimagined' ? Is Steve Ballmer now working for Naim? 

Naim has been talking about full SSD Music storage for years... looks were' at 262: maybe a downgraded 272, without ext. PSU-option? )-;

"infinite possibilities" and heat fins?

Maybe it includes a perpetual motion machine. Transformer hum eliminated. Mains be damned!

It's a Devialet and a Chord Hugo bolted inside a Muso case...just to engender severe bile attacks in the most ardent Naim aficionados.

If not already mentioned it is NAIMs Melco with isolated bits and bobs, clean blah blah, SL derived cabling throughout thingy.

Superuniti 2 with Roon integration built in.  Infinite possibilities is marketingspeak for the variety of sources that Roon can connect to as well as the SU2 sources & outputs

That still seems to be in the single digit realm to me, but then again I don't speak marketspeak.

I guess the hyperbole of social media has reduced what was once orders of magnitude to their exponents.

Maybe this can help pass the time, time, time ...

I wonder if it contains an infinite improbability drive ?

That would definitely allow one to constantly reimagine one's music collection!

My guess is that is misture of uniti/supeuniti+server/ripper/storage, just add the speakers and that´s it in a package to follow the muso statement range design, all-in-one

spot on thinking with a smell of inside knowledge i suspect!!!

Post 272! My favourite!!!

It is pretty irrelevant to me because unless I stop renovating my house and sell it I can't imagine I will be buying whatever it is,  it might aswell be a space ship.

It depends what you mean by exist.

Countable infinity is defined as the number of natural numbers (1, 2, 3...).

Uncountable infinity is the number of real numbers (including all fractions and, crucially, irrational numbers such as π which can never be completely computed).

They are concepts in mathematics.

Ooh, does that mean this new device may output music that might not be analogue?  No wonder it hasn't any speakers. I wonder what non-analogue music sounds like - that would definitely be a re-imagining of our music collections!

Hmm ... thinking about the "infinity" a bit more ...

countable infinity is, as the previous poster intimated, about counting the natural numbers and, in essence, saying that whatever number you come up with I can always come up with a bigger one - so there is no end;

... this leads to a Statement-level component that is bigger, better and brighter than anything we have already.

Uncountable infinity is about the real numbers and, in essence, says that whatever two decimal (real) numbers you come up with I can always find a real number that sits between them ...

... this leads to a component that sits within the existing product range.

Hmmm again ...

My only certainty is that I will be infinitely disappointed with whatever pops up.

Surely Naim wouldn't produce something quite that bad? Infinity-1 perhaps?
