Im hella happy i have a modular/seperate system, i can easily replace a component without needing to find another place for the rest of the gear which would make no sense with any "AIO" component (As happened already often with AVRs - Any "minor" but still needed function malfunctions and i have to replace the whole AVR and need to find a sense for the broken one if anything is working at all at the AVR anymore.

Once again another fantastic review from John, thank you. As I live in a very small old house I love these units, again though due to size I didn’t feel the need to spend so much so went with this years PowerNODE. A brilliant unit as I also hook it up to my TV with HDMI arc and I don’t need a screen. I love Cambridge Audio but when I looked at the cheaper evo 75 I personally didn’t like the buttons. This Evo 150 would be great, due to the extra inputs, but I can’t go to that level of spend personally knowing the kids will at some point damage it, 😂 and when I say kids I mean me, as I am the clumsy one in the house. All types of these units are so easy to use and I love them, I too have music playing a lot more in the house.

I was among the first in line to order the 2021 Powernode from Bluesound. The sound quality, especially detail and soundstage, with my Maggie 1.7i set is amazingly good, far better than a couple of integrated amps I have been using. Agree that the value of the Naim and Cambridge front displays is more eye appeal than utility, at least in my listening room. I'm never going to look across the room to see what's playing when I've got a mini tablet in my hand showing the same info. That's why the Powernode just makes sense for me, and at far less cost. Now, driving the Magneplanars with an 80 wpc "hybrid digital" amp is sounding good so far, but it goes against the conventional thinking about Maggies needing gobs of high-current power to sound best. Compared to the class A/B integrated amps, the Powernode is a bit leaner but more detailed, which I like. Would enjoy auditioning the Evo 150's digital chops to see how it sounds compared to the Powernode.

I’m downsizing my living room setup and I want as few boxes as possible and ultra simplicity for the family. Whilst I love the look of the Evo with walnut sides (that suits my room), I’ll go with Naim for the user interface and cause I suspect it’ll better match my Rega RX5’s. I value musical coherence and rhythmic engagement above all else (and that delicious volume dial & remote make the decision easier too)

I completely agree with the concept that these simple boxes help us to just listen to music. I've discovered so much more music since buying an Atom. It is interesting to note that although the Cambridge trades punches with the Naim, it doesn't offer anything new in spite of the Atom being four (!!) years old, which shows how significant Naim's product is. My next purchase will definitely look to technologies like room correction as that's the other variable which most of us think of last and which probably has a larger effect than anything else. Eager for upcoming TDAI-1120 review 👌

Their eyes glaze over when (not if) I talk to much about my gear. But at the same time they LOVE how it sounds. Making excellent sound quality more accessible to these “in-between users” is the way to go.

I currently have a Linn Majik DSM 4, which like your review is similar to the "just add speakers" philosophy above. SQ is an individual thing, however, it's great that all these types of 'higher-end' boxes elevate the listening experience while not compromising on the ability to access various music and AV sources as well as making the ability to do so, un-complicated. At last, we have the audio manufacturer's understanding of what the audiophile and (say this quietly... the consumer) actually wants.

Great video and your right ~ the future of our hi-fi hobby is heading towards a one~box solution. Areas of progression being the build quality and of course the app based gui to make the product attractive. I have a Nad Masters M50.2. It has swallowed up my entire cd library from the 1985 onwards and sits within my Arcam Fmj series of separates. But for the lifestyle product the build quality has to be superlative with a slick gui which is trouble free and more importantly updated and supported by the manufacturer. And to then worry less about the plethora of cables and speaker options which can open up debates that are endless but at the end of it all it’s about the enjoyment of the individual who has invested his money on a product which should also delight and entertain. A true product of desire. Again a great video,,,

This is so refreshing to hear. My wife HATES WITH A PASSION HiFi separates and all those wires. I had a very hard time sourcing a reasonable sounding hifi that fulfilled her aesthetic demands and my desire for decent sound and connectivity. The end result was an Onkyo RN855 with matching CD player, Monitor Audio Broze 2 speakers stand mounted, and a Technics SL1500 turntable. In my 12x20 foot lounge it has more than enough clout but I'm wondering about my upgrade path. I've considered both the reviewed products and maybe a pair of Kef LS50 Metas but I'm scatching my head. Great video, right on topic for me.

Since my Unity Atom came, my humble Qacoustics Concept 20 shelf speakers sound so good that I am spending some of my evening simply with closed eyes and enjoying music. The wheel, the look, the full integration of Qobuz, it is simple to play favorites from a single button and this works for me fine. I am simply missing some additional physical buttons on the front. The remote ? I barely used it, it is just gathering dust. The Cambridge must certainly be also be very good but I can’t judge.

You need to test the Atom HE with a power amp against the basic atom. My understanding is they upgraded the whole pre-amp section of the amp as well as deleting the power amp. Just loving mine.

Alright I won’t lie. I’m a huge Tipper fan. So when I saw the album art for JMH on your thumbnail I clicked right away lol. But having discovered your channel I can say that I’ll definitely be checking back for more reviews and comparisons. Just watched your overview of the Project debut pro and was glued to my screen. Very informative and knowledgeable! Well done! Side note as well, Dave Tipper has released not only Jettison Mind Hatch but three of his older albums on Vinyl so far. Those being “Broken Soul Jamboree”, “Forward Escape”, and “Seamless Unspeakable Something”. Good luck finding a copy of Forward Escape though. Very rare. His manager did announce that they are planning a re-release at some point in the future. As well as a Vinyl release of “Surrounded”. (Fun fact it was one of the first albums made for the dual disc format and was intended to be an entirely surround sound experience.) I highly recommend giving those Vinyl a listen. Especially after you’ve gone through more of his discography. There’s some subtle differences to them compared to the originals as a nod to the fans for the support. Dave Tipper is nothing short of a tour de force when it comes to sound design. Your ears will definitely like what they hear.

You had me walking down the Uniti Atom road until you hit me with the Buchardt A500 which was the ultimate minimalist solution for me. Cheers.

Thanks for the Vidski. Both are great bits of kit. Hegel 120 does the same as both and maybe plays to the ‘audiophile’ crowd more

Hegel does not do Roon Ready or Chromecast. No MM phono input either. So, no, it does not do the same. I don't have one but looked up this info on their website.

5:08 ‘Viscous’ though. Highly recommended. Also ‘Herriot Method’ from Tipper’s ‘Broken Soul Jamboree’ album.

Very good video if you can spend that much money and when your ears are ok. I am 62 years old and I wanted a streaming amplifier that sounded well and was affordable and was easy to use. I bought a Marantz PM 7000 N receiver with lots of options for 1 200 euros and I bought a pair of Amphion Argon 1 speakers for 1 300 euros. And for meit’s a great pairing. The Marantz is 60 watts at 8 ohms and 80 watts at 4 ohms. He has a good power supply and a very good DAC . And I love the sound quality for classical music, rock, blues. Greetings, Ludo
