We first came across Naim's stunning n-Vi while scouring the showrooms at the recent Hi-Fi and Home Entertainment Show in Heathrow. With its release now only a few weeks away, we've received some more details on this £2,995 brute of a system.
The n-Vi is an upgradeable high-end integrated DVD player, DVD Audio player, CD player, AV processor, audio preamplifier and five-channel power amplifier. Oh, and from launch it will be available with an optional FM/DAB radio module, which will bump the price up for the whole unit to £3,250. And if all that's not enough, (what, you want to spend more?!) there's also a video scaler module including an external video input available spring next year. Surround sound modes include Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby Pro Logic II.
