Naim Audio is giving its CI-Uniti 102 streamer-amplifier a more approachable role in the home with a new accessory kit designed to take the system out of the equipment rack and put it directly into a living space.
The CI-Uniti 102 combines 150 watts per channel of amplification with high-resolution streaming, HDMI eARC, Bluetooth, and extensive network connectivity. The new $99 home accessory box adds four high-profile feet and a dedicated remote, allowing the unit to sit on furniture or shelving without requiring a traditional rack installation.
The Focal & Naim app also gets an update, adding a dedicated Home configuration along with features such as a 4-band equalizer and filtering options for 2.1 setups. The system can also be paired with Focal speakers and incorporated into multi-room installations supporting up to 32 rooms.
Naim says the goal is to bring the performance and reliability of professional custom integration into a simpler, more accessible home audio experience.
Pricing & Availability
The Naim CI-Uniti 102 is available now for $1,499 USD, while the new Home Accessory Box will cost $99 USD and is expected to be available in October 2026.
Why It Matters
Naim is positioning the CI-Uniti 102 as a bridge between professional custom installation and everyday home audio, which makes the details behind that “professional-grade” positioning particularly interesting. For custom integrators, the big question is how well the CI-Uniti 102 fits into established installation workflows and control ecosystems.
While the new accessory kit makes the unit easier to place and use without a rack, it will be worth looking closer at its integration capabilities, including how it works with professional control platforms and whether integrators get the kind of rack-mounting and control-driver support they typically expect from a dedicated CI product. If Naim can combine that flexibility with its established hi-fi performance, the CI-Uniti 102 could be an intriguing option for projects that want serious audio without making the technology the centerpiece of the room.
