Description

Unico CD Uno

The Unico CDUno is a high-specification DAC with integrated CD mechanism that is flexible and customizable. The CDUno combines Unison Research’s high-end sound quality with the broad playback possibilities offered by today’s digital audio solutions. The CDUno will allow you to play back all the music formats and sampling rates currently available on the market.

The UnicoCDUno boasts a wide variety of inputs and outputs. On the back-panel there are inputs for USB and Toslink TM cables, and built inside the housing is a BluetoothTM receiver that allows for wireless streaming from compatible devices.

The audio stage uses one ECC82 double triode, operating in pure class A, followed by a solid state discrete buffer still operating in class A for a low impedance output and ideal audio behavior.
Aesthetically the CDUno, like the CDDue, differs from existing Unico products with its new three- fold faceplate, white LEDs and white display. This same aesthetic will pass over to the new Unico 90 and Unico 150 amplifiers, which are designed to be perfect matches for the CDUno and CDDue.

Why Choose Unison Research

Unison Research is one of Italy’s most respected amplifier manufacturers, renowned for combining handcrafted Italian construction, elegant industrial design, and deeply musical amplifier performance. Designed and manufactured entirely in Italy, Unison Research products blend traditional analogue amplifier philosophy with modern usability and refinement, creating systems that feel both emotionally engaging and beautifully engineered.

What makes Unison Research particularly distinctive is the company’s ability to combine valve warmth and musicality with real-world usability and speaker compatibility. Across both the valve and hybrid ranges, the amplifiers are designed to deliver tonal richness, dimensionality, and natural musical flow while still maintaining strong dynamics, control, and everyday practicality.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Unison Research products stand apart for their ability to create systems that feel inviting, tactile, and genuinely enjoyable to live with over long periods of ownership.

Signature Design and Sound

Manufactured in Italy, Unison Research amplifiers are engineered around carefully refined analogue circuits, substantial linear power supplies, premium transformer implementation, and beautifully executed cabinetry combining timber, alloy, and polished metal finishes.

The current Unico range has become particularly successful through its hybrid amplifier architecture, combining valve input stages with solid-state output sections to deliver much of the warmth, spaciousness, and tonal texture associated with valve amplification together with the current delivery and loudspeaker control of solid-state designs. Products such as the Unico Due provide substantial power and versatility while maintaining a highly natural and engaging musical presentation.

For listeners seeking a more traditional valve amplifier experience, models such as the S6 continue Unison Research’s focus on tonal beauty, dimensional realism, and effortless musical flow. The S6 in particular combines strong dynamic capability with remarkably organic vocal presentation and expansive sound staging, making it especially captivating with acoustic recordings, vocals, jazz, and analogue playback systems.

The introduction of the newer black finish models has also given the range a more contemporary visual presentation while preserving the distinctive Italian styling and handcrafted character that defines the brand.

Sonically, Unison Research amplifiers are known for their warmth, openness, and emotionally engaging presentation. Instruments and vocals carry convincing body and harmonic richness, while the soundstage feels spacious and immersive without becoming overly soft or romanticised.

Unison Research Product Range

The Unison Research range available through HeyNow Hi-Fi includes hybrid integrated amplifiers, valve amplifiers, DACs, CD players, and analogue-focused electronics designed for listeners seeking a more organic and musically immersive Hi-Fi experience.

Products including the Unico Due and S6 showcase the company’s ability to combine handcrafted Italian construction, premium analogue engineering, and highly engaging musical performance across both hybrid and traditional valve amplifier platforms.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Geoff and his experienced analogue and system setup team provide assistance with amplifier matching, speaker pairing, analogue integration, and complete system optimisation to ensure Unison Research products perform at their full capability within each customer’s listening environment.
