Clearly different. Digitally disruptive.
Our use of proprietary technology makes NEO Stream distinctly different.
No “bought” platform. There is no specific control application.
Our own streaming engine. Fully optimized for smooth operation and excellent sound performance.
Functionally and sonically, it is the ideal streamer for the passionate music lover who wants to experience their music in great sound quality through their choice of control app or music platform. Without the exorbitant price tag.
Just seamless flow
Roon Ready – Roon Ready certification means that the NEO Stream goes directly into a Roon audio environment and works seamlessly with Roon software.
DNLA/UPnP – Use your choice of any DLNA/UPnP compatible app – BubbleUpnP, connect, Audirvana and so on – to control NEO streaming and access audio content from online services.
Tidal Connect and Spotify Connect – Stream directly from these integrated online music services.
Apple Airplay – Easy streaming from Apple devices.
NAA Mode – Serious Enthusiast? NEO Stream can act as a network audio adapter. Routes audio data packets received over Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable directly to the connected DAC without applying any processing.
NAS drive – stream from a local storage device using the ‘Stream-iFi’ app.

Custom DAC
NEO Stream’s built-in DAC stage takes streaming enjoyment to another level.
Four-channel high-resolution True Native DAC design – supports PCM 768 kHz and DSD 512,
Powerful 16-core XMOS processor – performs full MQA decoding (up to 384kHz)
Thanks to the DAC chip’s four-channel True Native design, PCM and DSD follow separate paths and remain “bit-perfect” in their immediate native form, straight to analog conversion. In the case of DSD, there is no PCM conversion or multi-bit processing applied – this is unusual and makes NEO Stream a great choice for DSD purists.

Unique optical LAN
Are you connecting to your network router via a cable instead of relying on Wi-Fi? NEO Stream includes a unique option along with RJ45 and M12 ports – optical LAN. This is our technology. Connect the OptiBox transceiver to the router and the NEO Stream to the OptiBox via an optical cable. Both OptiBox and cable are included.
Enjoy the highest quality digital audio connection between your router and streamer.
Ultra-fast data speeds of up to 10 Gbps
Perfect high-resolution audio transmission
Minimal degradation at distances up to 1km
The LAN signal from the router is regenerated, repeated and balanced by the OptiBox. true galvanic isolation is applied, with zero parasitic capacitance and inductance.
