Question 1:
I am wondering what gives the best sound experience when streaming music from Tidal.
Which of these amps has the best pre-amp and how do the DAC's of these units compare?

I am not talking about user experience but pure about the sound quality. The Atom has a beautiful display and tops it on looks but in the end it is the sound that matters the most to me.

They have to drive either of the following speakers:
- Spendor A4
- Proac DT8
- Monitor Audio Silver 300
- B&W 704S2

Question 2:
Then I also wonder whether only the power supply is different in the Naim Uniti Atom/Star/Nova or are the pre-amp and the DAC also better in the Star and Nova?
I don't need the CD drive in the Star as I don't play CD's anymore.

Question 3:
Would an N172XS + NAP 200 sound better than the Uniti Atom?

Superuniti is equal to the Nova in terms of placement in the range. I have a Superuniti and have heard an Atom. The two are not comparable for sound quality, the Superunit is far superior.

How do you find the Tidal experience on your Superuniti @Kend3591?
