Naim UnitiServe
Naim Audio have announced a hard disk player / server called the UnitiServe. It allows direct ‘bit for bit’ ripping from CD to it’s onboard 1.5TB hard drive, and includes a UPnP audio server within it’s small, half width “HiCap sized” box. The UnitiServe is a derivative of Naim’s HDX HDD / CD player, sharing much of the technology used in one of the best HDD CD players available.
The UnitiServe will support high resolution audio up to 24 bit/192kHz, and most audio formats (WAV/AIFF/FLAC/OGG/AAC/WMA/MP3), and can be controlled by the existing Naim HDX control App for the iPod Touch / iPhone.
There is also a UnitiServe SSD, which removes the internal HDD drive and will assign ripped CD’s to an external NAS drive.
I have full specs here, so if there’s any specifics anyone wants to know, feel free to ask!
The UnitiServe will be available from June 2010.

Welcome!!

Welcome to our new look website for Frank Harvey Hi-Fi.
I’ve managed to comandeer our old website which was gathering dust since starting our HiFix website. We thought seeing as we have the site, we may as well make use of it to provide you with a web page where you can visit to find out more about us and be informed of new models, events, special offers, and other hugely interesting ’stuff”.
This Home page will keep you informed of new products as well as new models available for demo in store, news of useful events and shows, and general fun stuff.
In the About Us section you’ll find details and history as well as photos of Frank Harvey Hi-Fi and our Coventry showroom.
In the HiFix.co.uk tab you’ll find more detail about our website, which will be added to over the coming weeks.
The On Demo section gives you a full listing of manufacturers and products we have available for demo in our three storey showroom, along with a few photos.
You’ll find links to various worldwide film trailers that we find interesting, new Bluray releases, and various styles of music that we think are interesting or different, and want to share with you.
Please feel free to make any suggestions of what you’d like to see on this page, and any improvements you’d like to see.
We’re also extending this site further, and have opened our very own forum. Feel free to pop over to www.peoplesrepublicofhifi.co.uk and join up!!
Frank Harvey Hi-Fi FORUM
We are pleased to announce the opening of our very own forum, named “The People’s Republic Of Hi-Fi” for all things visual and aural – and a few extra bits too!
www.peoplesrepublicofhifi.co.uk
Forums tend to be a place of valuable information for many people, and we felt that our customers, and our customers-to-be could do with a friendly forum where they can ask any questions they need answered, as well as join in day to day discussions about anything and everything. As well as sections for hi-fi and audio/visual, there is a trading section where you can sell your old equipment and post wants, read about upcoming shows and events, new products, as well as discussing movies and music. There’s even a section for your very own blog, where you can tell us what you’re doing, what your listening to, or just tell everyone about your day if you so wish. So pop over to www.peoplesrepublicofhifi.co.uk and sign up, say hello, and join in!
All the staff are signed up to the forum, the only thing missing, is you.
Denon BDP-4010 Bluray Player on demo
Denon’s new Universal BDP4010 Bluray player is now on demo in store.
There’s more to the Profile 2.0 4010 than the serious looking facia - it isn’t just a Bluray player. As well as playing Bluray and DVD discs, it will also play DVD-Audio and SACD discs too, with onboard 7.1 decoding and full bass management powered by Denon’s dual 32bit SHARC processors. Anchor Bay’s VRS video procing is also present.
Now for the cool bit. As a a world’s first, the BDP4010 features an integral web browser and remote access capabilities – alowing it to be controlled via an iPhone or iPod Touch.
Onkyo BDPS807 THX Bluray Player
Onkyo are about to launch a new, high specification profile 2.0 Bluray player, which is shaping up to be a strong contender in the sub £1,000 price point. Boasting their usual battleship build quality, the player sports a simple, uncluttered facia, but still managing to look pretty serious.
