07 centralise your sprawling music and video content

Take control of your entire music collection while accessing your favourite streaming services, with a state-of-the-art, Hi-Res music hub designed with multi-room support

If James Bond went shopping for a music hub, we reckon he’d slip this beauty into his bag for life. A high-res music system fitted with a touchscreen control panel, the Nativ Vita streams tunes, beams music videos to your TV, and can play music files stored on your computer or NAS. The Vita works with almost all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Tidal and Apple Music, and can link (via Wi- Fi, Bluetooth aptX, AirPlay and Google Chromecast) to your phone, tablet or computer. It’ll also beam media to your TV via HDMI or Chromecast.

The Vita runs music-streaming software Roon, retooled for a pure touchscreen experience. That smooth, 11.6-inch screen, housed in an oak or American walnut stand, features a backlit, high-res IPS LCD display. It also has a built-in microphone and voice command – tell the Vita what to play, or beam, and it’ll do it.

This opulent hub is designed to interact with your other smart devices, too – it’ll stream music to your wireless cans and control your multi-room speaker system.

It can also pick up over 40,000 internet radio stations, and play music videos from YouTube and Google Play Music, beaming them to your TV or displaying them on its own touchscreen display. Bio, tour dates and album details of the artists you’re listening to will also appear on the screen.

You can store up to 4TB of music on Vita, and spread the love around your home by connecting it to your wireless speakers (think BeoPlay, SONOS or Bose SoundTouch). Let’s get this party started! $699 (£518). Shipping begins this month, so you don’t have to wait long.

There are lots of Vita packages, so choose wisely. There’s also a stunning wall-mount ($149/£112) to snap up.

When your Vita arrives, pair it with your audio-related smart devices. Since the Vita uses Roon, syncing your streaming accounts will be easy.
