Overview
Pure network audio renderer — no DAC, no amplification, just a galvanically-isolated streamer with USB Audio Class 2 output and AES/EBU digital output to feed an external DAC. Roon-Ready certified, plus UPnP/DLNA, Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, AirPlay 2 and Google Cast.
The right source for a no-compromise digital chain: ethernet from the router, USB into a clean DAC, AES/EBU as a backup. Internal switching power supply for the network section is fully isolated from the audio output rails.
Pairs naturally with the desktop reference DAC over USB or AES/EBU. Format-passthrough up to DSD512.
