Naim Audio Opiniões 

Wow. Active naim system into SBL. All recently serviced. Old but sounds sublime. I can't see me ever upgrading.

I bought a Uniti Star to replace my ageing (Naim in part) HiFi. My wife loves the one box aesthetic, and an all in one solution appealed to me too. However this is one of those purchases I wish I'd never made.
Naim make superb amplifiers, pre-amps and power supplies, what they don't do very well is ripping software....
I'm on my 2nd Uniti Star now. The first one had a faulty CD Rom drive, the 2nd is just an absolute pain to use when ripping. Here's some of it's foibles....
1. It puts random holes in ripped files
2. It says it's ripping a CD but just leaves a blank file
3. It just stops with "System error reported"
4. It turns itself off for no reason
5. The app can't find the music library at times, after 400 CD rips this was quite frustrating. The only solution is to do a factory reset which means inputting all your data again (I've done this 5 times now)
6. If you raise the issue with Naim's service department they'll issue a ticket and just not get back to you, 'They are incredibly busy' apparently, I suspect with Uniti Star customers.
If you check on forums including Naims own, there are dozens of reports like mine. To be fair, there are lots of very happy people who don't have issues.
If you want an all in one box solution go for the Atom or Nova and rip your CD's via your Mac/PC onto a USB Drive.
If your dealer tells you it's a special CD platform in the Uniti Star it's not true it's a cheap CD-ROM drive, nothing wrong with that at all with the right software, but Naim don't seem to be able to get this right in my experience and indeed of many other owners.
At nearly £4K with the DAB/FM option this is not a cheap bit of kit and should be up to the job.
Oh, and beware of joining the Naim Community Forum. Some people treat any dissent as a blasphemy you have been warned!😀

My Muso has died twice in 4 years and absolutely no response from them after 3weeks. What a completely ineffective brand which needs to be called out for their terrible products and service. My advice, stick with Sonos or Zeppelin and avoid these charlatans!!

I use the Naim app on my Naim n272 and it is absolutely Fecking S**t ( because its inappropriate.....to tell the truth)
How a company who makes so called hi end hi fi rolls this crap out is embarrassing
I am getting rid of all my over priced Naim units which are Naim nap 250dr Naim XPS dr & Naim nac n272.
Thank you and goodbye you overpriced crap

If your thinking of venturing into the Naim multiroom experience then think again. While Naim have and do produce great style and sound when it comes to their multiroom system then experience yes but multiroom no .
Having spent 12 months nursing my two muso and they have probably linked for about 25% of that time and now I have admitted defeat . The Naim app doesn’t recognise them , the google app doesn’t recognise them but the tv does ?
So it’s with sadness and relief they are now on eBay , relics of what could have been.

naim is aiming at a higher standard. mu so 2nd generation wireless speaker sound is faultless. naim didn’t cut costs. another more costly speaker weighed 9 lbs; this speaker weighs 31 lbs. you can hear the additional audio equipment.
The people who pick up the phone when you call customer service are the most knowledgeable of all the speaker companies I have ever contacted.

Overpriced and over-rated
Display screen on my UnityQ faded out and went completely dim after 5 years
Customer support doesn't bother responding
They use covid as an excuse
Refuse to send me a replacement part
Want me to send it to Dubai for repairs as they have no support in south africa

UPDATE: I eventually received good support from Naim and the technical team and am again delighted with my system, techs & system are five star but difficulty to get this sorted made it a 3 star.

Customer for 27y. Spent over £50K with Naim, £20K in past 5y. Everything except speakers. Audiophiles, fantastic, democratic service in early days (audio interest the judge, not money), went to Salisbury factory to pick transistors for one of my pre's. Had some issues with power supply capacitors way back, all sorted. I love the sound & the company.

I bought a UnitiQute for my apartment in Brussels in '12. Barely used, moved it to UK home office in pandemic. Then, screen fade issue - common I've learned, happened late as unit not used that often until '20.

So I contacted Naim. And contacted Naim. And contacted Naim. Got a ticket....but nothing else in a month. I've learned the screens are no longer available from Naim through forums....but why couldn't Naim make a small effort to respond? to say 'sorry mate. we cant fix these any more'.

These experiences matter - CV19 no excuse for complete silence. I guessed Naim do not care about small purchases. I had Meridian & Linn before Naim, auditioned Linn last week and with no response from Naim have gone from what I thought would be a £300 ish repair to a £7K Linn system for my office. Still love my main system, but the bond has been broken, Julian V established a fabulously sound focused company, today Vervent Group have taken something away.

Just bought a Naim Muso 2 after pondering on which product to buy for several months. What a mistake, nearly impossible to get the app to recognise your Muso, and that’s with hard wired super fast broadband. Absolutely joke at this price. Only wish I had read the countless reviews stating the same before I bought this. It’s back in the box after a day and going back. Also completely underwhelmed with the sound when it did work, have no idea where these 5 star expert reviews come from.

Splashed out on a Naim system before getting married in 1992, hours of listening and pleasure ever since. Music is detailed, clear and rewarding. There have long been tails of no replacement laser parts for 1992 CDi Cd players, luckily it was the digital analogue boards that created an interference on the left hand channel. My CD player has just been repaired, serviced and tested by Naim as it approaches its thirtieth birthday. It still sounds breathtaking. Naim are quite wonderful, the products sound fabulous and the service is world class. What at the time might have been an expensive luxury, has provided years of pleasure and great value for money.

The Naim Mu-so 2nd gen shouldn’t be on the market. 0/5 stars

I bought a Naim Mu-so 2nd generation just over 3 months ago, and it was a massive letdown. When it works, it sounds and looks great, but it doesn’t work well for too long. I had 3 Naim Mu-so units in the span of 3 months and they were all shockingly faulty. It is embarrassing they charge £1299 for a product that doesn’t work. I’m also not sure how this product scores so highly in expert reviews, because even the retailer I got it from eventually told me “I’m not going to lie, there are connectivity issues reported with this product”.

When I first got the Mu-so, the touchpad on the unit was completely unresponsive. The retailer kindly replaced it, but then the new unit had some issues with connectivity. A couple of weeks later, the unit would randomly stop playing the sound for a few seconds, and sometimes stop responding altogether (I couldn’t even turn it off or reset it). The retailer replaced the unit again and guess what? Same connectivity issues a week later.

Bad unfinished product, don’t believe the reviews online. Save yourself some headaches and don’t buy it.

I bought a unitiqute several years ago only for the Oled display to gradually fade and eventually stop working altogether. Apparently it was a design flaw but they refused to repair as it had gone out of warranty. They seem to make products that look and sound great but just stand up to normal use. Customer service is pathetic and just an excuse to make more money out of you for paid 'services'.

The app for the muso is hopeless and is forever losing contact with the device. There are innumerable complaints about this online, I just wish I had read them before I bought. Avoid this product at all costs until a new app is released.

Very poor service. It took 8 days for Naim to make contact. They only work office hours 6 days, with no support on Sunday. Three days and 70 plus emails, still 2 faults and a suggestion to go back to the supplier. You have to sit waiting on emails as the person assigned is trying to help a bunch of other folk, not a problem if you are not working, but I am. If I was working from the office the three days would have been 3 Saturdays. And a constant message about high call volume. It does not matter if the very expensive kit is good.......if you can't use it you are better with Alexa. Extremely disappointed.

From the outset, the iPhone app for my Muso was just about passable, dropping out occasionally. Now, for some reason, it rarely connects and when it does, will just drop out during use. Muso is hard wired to the wifi router and my phone has the latest software. It is a royal pita. Please sort this out Naim !

Was thinking of purchasing a couple of new Muso 2nd generation, but Naim's apparent indifference to their users suggests they fall in to the same category as Sonos, another company who have big issues with their products.

Will have to look for something else.

Recently swapped a Marantz PM7000N network streamer for the Uniti Atom from Naim and couldn't be happier. The sound is just perfect; there is enough to power the B&W CM9 speakers; and the interconnection from Spotify or Airplay works perfectly. This is a perfect product. Well done Naim.

Very bad customer service! Don’t even have the courtesy to answer your emails either

Naim are big into their networking products now, they don't seem to realise that a networking product is only as good as the app, and their app is hopeless, it regularly rely you it cannot find a device, when if you go and look at your router details will tell you is connected and good luck trying to reset, it works one time in 10.

I’ve just had a 90s era CD3 serviced by Naim. Compliments first: it now sounds fantastic, probably better than it’s ever done.

BUT, some serious caveats: my request was for a full service and two very obvious faults were detailed. On the player’s return neither had been addressed and back it had to go at considerable inconvenience.

Furthermore, they tried to deny the dealer had mentioned either fault which he most definitely had, and which I’d reiterated via printouts included with the machine. It’s now come back from the second attempt but still has a minor problem. This shows a complete lack of attention to detail. These issues were self-evident and should have been picked up as soon as the player was switched on.

The service isn't cheap and suggests the hype about Naim’s service department is a fiction.

I’ve long had reservations about this company. This experience tends to confirm them.
