DISTRIBUTOR Naim Audio

When released a good few years ago the first Mu-so was quite a catch. Here was a highly respected UK hi-fi specialist getting into more lifestyle-oriented audio. It proved a big success and has been further improved with the more recent release of the 2nd Generation update.

It is a veritable thing of beauty, and an ergonomic triumph to boot. Naim's trademark volume control is a lovely way to operate it and the supplied app is as good as these things tend to get - easily the best in this group. It has no display as such but doesn't need one.
