The Naim DAC marks a technical milestone comparable to their first CD player, the CDS. The CDS demonstrated that CD replay and lifelike music reproduction were not mutually exclusive. Now, the Naim DAC demonstrates that the jitter and noise that bedevil traditional external digital to analogue converters can be overcome and a new route to the real enjoyment of music opened.

The Naim DAC provides eight S/PDIF inputs, two USB inputs, and is capable of handling audio data sampled at up to 768kHz and with up to 32bit resolution. It not only brings all the digital inputs together into the analogue domain, but does so with a level of performance that can compete with the finest from any Naim CD player to provide unrivalled musical fulfillment. Listening to the Naim DAC is a revelation. Music, whether its source be an iPod, a CD or a high-resolution data file, is presented afresh, with more definition, more insight, more warmth, and simply more of those hard-to-define clues of rhythm, melody and emotion that distinguish the real thing from pale imitation. The Naim DAC is an advance that brings real music in the home closer to reality than ever before.

If exceptional music making is the first hallmark of the Naim DAC, the second is versatility. Versatility comes thanks to S/PDIF inputs that can accommodate either optical or coaxial formats and USB inputs that can accommodate memory sticks and Apple iPod and iPhone models. It arises also from the numerous Naim system upgrades that the DAC makes possible. Simultaneously with its introduction, the CDX2 and CD5 XS CD players have gained S/PDIF outputs and can now benefit significantly from use with the DAC. With the addition of a DAC, existing preamplifiers can be incorporated into digital audio systems.

The Naim DAC can be controlled by a Naim preamplifier remote control, seamlessly integrating analogue and digital inputs across the two units. The DAC becomes an extension of the preamplifier. And when a USB stick, iPod or iPhone is docked, the DAC front panel input buttons transform to operate as playback controls.

Ground breaking technology and digital audio engineering however are purely academic. Listening to the Naim DAC is something else entirely. Startling in its clarity, arresting in its detail, beguiling in its warmth and inspiring in its rhythm, the Naim DAC seduces from the first note.

Welcome to the new Rayleigh Hi-Fi Sound & Vision website. We are very pleased to introduce this new site together with the opening of our On-Line Store. The On-Line Store will always be a ‘work in progress’ but it will grow rapidly as we constantly add products from our huge range. If there is an item you wish to purchase among the brands we represent that you do not see listed yet, please give us a call as it is likely to be an item we normally stock.

A major difference you will find to most other suppliers, apart from the very wide range of top quality products on offer, is that we are able to provide a high-quality installation service over a wide geographical area, far beyond the Essex borders in which our stores are based. We believe it is vital to get the best performance out of products you purchase by correct installation and setting-up. Our experienced installers will make all the difference to the enjoyment of your system by optimizing the performance. You will soon find out why Rayleigh Hi-Fi’s recommendation rate is among the highest in the industry.

The Rayleigh store is now demonstrating & stocking the brand new and unique Tellurium Q Black speaker cable. We were one of the first stores in the country to hear the cable and knew it was something special. We have been extremely impressed with the high end performance from such a conservatively looking and modestly priced cable. Ideal for running under carpets due to it’s flat profile, If you want transparency and clarity from your speaker cable without colouration, this could be the choice for you!

Cavernous acoustic space…..palpable sense of reality…good sense of timing and pitch…the sound was controlled and didn’t harden as the volume increased…even tonal balance.”

Hi Fi News magazine (Feb 2010 edition) group review highly commended

Naim Audio have just released news of their new compact UnitiQute which joins its bigger sibling,

the NaimUniti, to form the Uniti family; Naim’s range of all-in-one audio players.  The Uniti has been a phenomenal success for Naim and has received rave reviews, so we anticipate a similar success story for the UnitiQute which offers: digital streaming, multi-format radio (FM/DAB/Internet) and iPod/MP3 & USB playback.

A key aspect of UnitiQute is its digital audio streaming capabilities. UnitiQute can wirelessly stream music stored on UPnPTM home-networked devices, such as PCs or NAS drives, providing access to even more music.  iPod & MP3 players are catered for with UnitiQute. Simply connect to the front-panel USB port and UnitiQute takes over the control, charging and display of stored audio. UnitiQute is also Apple authenticated enabling a digital output from iPod for optimised sound quality.

UnitiQute is a complete and compact audio system – containing multiple music sources, onboard DAC and pre and power amplification. Available from March and priced at only £1,350 – all you need to add is speakers.
