Naim Atom review

The hifi that may modification the manner you hear music

• Hi-fi is formed by British firm Naim and enables you to simply stream music
• Supports everything from Chromecast and Spotify to periodic event and Bluetooth
• Incredible attention to detail means that the sound is unflawed 

It fact, i might go to this point on say it will assist you discover the lost art of paying attention to music - and has no doubt given Maine a lot of enjoyment within the few weeks i have been victimization it that the other piece of technology over the past few years.

Everything regarding the Atom screams quality, from the commercial 'monolith' style with its metal fins to the screen that dominates the front of the unit.

Looks wise, it owes a lot of to Apple and Braun than the historic hi-fi styles that were dominated by buttons and dials.
In fact, there ar simply four buttons - and you may seldom use any of them.

However, there's the mother of all dials - a bright designed volume management on the highest of the unit.

It lights up to indicate however loud the system is, and is dead weighted, creating it surprisingly habit-forming to use.

For most functions, however, there is a selection of a rather to a fault sophisticated remote, or an excellent app.

I found myself victimization the app ninety nine of the time, aside from desirous to modification the degreewhereas looking TV.

But whereas the specs and style ar all well and sensible, the key to the Atom is that the sound.

It's merely jaw dropping.

I often found myself up till 2am listening (sorry neighbours) memory a favorite song and being unable to contain the urge to concentrate thereto.

The amount of detail and presence within the system is wonderful - with the best possible recordings, you actuallydo get a way of being within the studio, and might hear precisely wherever every instrument is.

On tracks just like the Streets' blind by the Lights the bass is precise and ingenuous , whereas classic rock bandtracks (particularly the recently remastered albums) reveal new detail in music you have been paying attention toyour whole life.

The most fascinating factor regarding the Atom is that it is so compelling, its virtually not possible to possessmusic on within the background
I found myself having to travel sit all the way down to repeat tracks perpetually simply to listen to them from the optimum position, and its all encompassing - even reading at a similar time is usually not possible.

I additionally used the Atom for my TV sound, and this worked okay - clearly you are not obtaining any quitesurround sound, however the sound you're obtaining is exceptionally clear and precise.

If you are troubled regarding the Uniti being loud enough, do not be - Naim claims forty watts per channel into eight ohms, that really means that it's going to be quite loud enough for just about something aside from the largest speakers.

Crucial to the Atom is that the integration of streaming services, with Spotify and periodic event being being in.

Spotify sounds nice on the Atom, however to essentially get the foremost out of it, you'll have a periodic event Hi-Fi subscription for its lossless service.
The combination of periodic event and also the Atom could be a revelation, and causes you to realise simply what most streaming services ar lacking in terms of quality (although that same, on the common headphones or hifi setup you most likely will not hear abundant of a difference).

There's additionally Chromecast support, which means there is a excessiveness of different apps on the marketwhich will use the Atom, in conjunction with bluetooth support.

Basically, you'll attach just about something. 

It's also attainable to use the Atom for TV sounds, that I did victimization the digital input on the rear of the unit - however there is additionally associate degree choice to get a HDMI input.

The attention to detail in obtaining the most effective sound is sort of alarming occasionally.
From an influence provide with floating pins geared toward guaranteeing a higher affiliation to hand-wired analogue and digital electronic equipment, each component of the look in Uniti Atom has been thought of for its result on sound quality.

The Atom additionally appearance nice, during a} very industrial manner.

The screen is sharp and clear - though it extremely looks like it ought to be a touchscreen, and you may no doubtreach out the primary few times you utilize it.

Overall, it's unimaginable troublesome to fault the Atom.

The app is a touch confusing occasionally, however with every update, it's improved.

But overall, this extremely is that the excellent combination of old style hi-fi skills and fashionable technology.

It manages to bring the marginally archaic and extremist nerdy world of high finish hifi into the planet of streaming while not compromising quality.
