The Naim Uniti Atom Headphone Edition is a specialized version of the acclaimed Uniti Atom music streamer, tailored for the ultimate solo listening experience. Unlike traditional headphone amplifiers and DACs that require a separate computer or streaming device, the Uniti Atom Headphone Edition is an all-in-one streaming system – simply connect your headphones and enjoy. It also doubles as an exceptional streaming pre-amplifier, allowing you to effortlessly add a power amp and speakers or active speakers.
Fully re-engineered for optimal personal listening, the Uniti Atom Headphone Edition incorporates technology from Naim's flagship Statement amplifier. The newly designed discrete headphone amplifier effortlessly powers even the most high-end headphones via a 6.35mm jack, Balanced XLR, or Pentaconn output.
Whether in your city office, home study, living room, or bedroom, the Uniti Atom Headphone Edition lets you enjoy your music at your preferred volume without disturbance, distractions, or compromises. Immerse yourself in an audio cocoon meticulously crafted by the British leaders in high-end sound. Escape to your exclusive world, where music, radio, and podcasts sound better than ever before.
Dragon Cable Recommendation: We recommend pairing the Naim Uniti Atom Headphone Edition with the popular Silver Dragon USB Audio Cable. The Silver Dragon USB cable is our best-selling USB cable at Moon Audio, offering an extraordinary amount of detail and resolution to your hi-fi system. The Silver Dragon USB cable is designed to transfer digital audio from your source device (like a computer, phone, tablet, or digital audio player) to a USB-capable DAC. It is built to USB Audio specs. The Silver Dragon USB Cable is meant for audio data transfer only - meaning that this cable should not be used for high-speed data transmission (for external hard drives). Because of the high-quality materials and cable geometry, our USB cables will greatly reduce stock USB cable issues such as packet loss and jitter.
