The inputs are configurable and a “Standby” option, consuming 0.5 Watts, reduces the electrical energy of the product. The story of Naim and aluminiumOur founder, Julian Vereker, immediately understood the many benefits of aluminium for wrapping Naim electronic components. He knew that delicate audio components are very sensitive to the effects of magnetic fields, thermal instability, unwanted vibrations, etc.SPECIFICATIONSProduct Type StreamerControl App control (iOS and Android), bi-directional ZigBee remote and front panel.

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Ambitious: at US$9,553, this sits above the US$9,128 75th percentile and well over the US$8,703 median for recent used comparables, so it’s asking top-of-market money rather than a bargain. It’s not wildly out of line for a desirable current-gen streamer, but the seller is clearly pricing for patience.

That said, this is a strong piece if you want a serious Naim network source with the brand’s usual strengths: taut timing, clean separation, and a very resolved, musical presentation. If the unit is clean, fully functional, and includes the original packaging, remote, and any needed power/streaming accessories, it can still make sense for a buyer who values condition and convenience more than chasing the lowest number.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Naim Audio

Naim Audio, a cornerstone of British hi-fi excellence, traces its origins to 1973 when Julian Vereker, a self-taught engineer, racing driver, and music enthusiast, formally incorporated the company in Salisbury, Wiltshire. Vereker's journey began earlier, in 1969, experimenting with tape recording and sound-to-light boxes before designing his first power amplifier in 1971. Amid the British hi-fi industry's recession, he secured a pivotal contract with Capital Radio, blending entrepreneurial grit with a passion for authentic sound reproduction that challenged conventional wisdom.

The brand specializes in premium integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital streamers, DACs, and compact music systems, often featuring built-in amplification for streamlined setups. While not delving into speakers—beyond a historical foray—or headphones and turntables, Naim emphasizes modular, upgradable components that prioritize pace, rhythm, and timing (PRaT), a signature sonic philosophy rooted in the "source first" approach alongside contemporaries like Linn.

Naim holds a commanding position in the high-end market, revered by discerning audiophiles for its handmade, innovative systems that deliver emotional musical engagement over mere specifications. Now part of VerVent Audio Group following a 2011 merger with Focal, it exports to over 45 countries, sustaining a cult following for resilient, influential designs that transcend economic cycles.
