UnitiLite will be available in mid-October at a suggested retail price of £1650 or £1895 including the optional FM/DAB radio.
UnitiLite is powerful enough to deliver music at realistic levels in most rooms and is capable of delivering superb sound quality whether the source is CD, radio, internet radio, iPod Touch or streamed music from a computer or network storage (NAS).
The system is easy to use and control using the supplied remote control, or the free to download n‑Stream app from the iTunes store. The latest improvements to the app have added full playlist control and wonderful graphical information and background information on the music streamed.
Information such as biographies, discographies, album reviews and much more are available at the touch of a button or a swipe of the finger.
