why did the Dab disappear (unitiqute 2), and where is the wifi antenne?

I can't answer your question about DAB, but the wi-fi antenna is now integrated into the fins in the side of the case, means no separate antenna. They have achieved this by bringing the wi-fi up to latest spec which gives dual band as well as increased memory/ buffer compared to UQ2.
is there a hard disk in the Atom ?

No, but you can connect a USB drive to it if you don't want to use UPnP
I think, by explicitly advertising that the USB port can handle 20,000 tracks, Naim have paid more attention than usual (across all manufacturers) to the interface to offer customers a bona fide choice if they don't want to dabble with network streaming. I'm crossing fingers navigation for USB will be speedier than is the norm.
And Phil Harris has confirmed it supports gapless playback. Thank you in advance Santa!
