iFi Audio Neo Stream DAC & Network Streamer - Ex Demo
If you're looking for an excellent streaming experience with exceptional sound quality, the Neo Stream DAC & Network Streamer is the way to go. With its powerful 16-core XMOS processor, the Neo Stream provides full MQA decoding up to 384kHz and Roon Ready certification, allowing you to stream seamlessly from your favourite online services like Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect and Apple Airplay. It also supports DNLA/UPnP and NAS drive streaming, allowing you to access audio content from local storage devices. Furthermore, the integrated DAC stage is designed with a four-channel True Native hi-res DAC design that supports PCM 768kHz and DSD 512 for bit-perfect analogue conversion. For serious enthusiasts, the Neo Stream can also operate as a Network Audio Adapter, directing packets of audio data over Wi-Fi or Ethernet directly to the connected DAC. This makes the Neo Stream an ideal choice for music lovers looking to upgrade their streaming setup without breaking the bank.
Here is what iFi Audio say about the Neo Stream
The Neo Stream is a combined network streaming engine and DAC stage ideal for music lovers who want to experience their music with exceptional sound quality without the exorbitant price tag. The Neo Stream is built to deliver optimal versatility and sonic performance, with no 'bought-in' platform or specific control app, simply play from your favourite streaming services for fully optimised for seamless operation. With various connections (WiFi, Ethernet, USB etc) the Neo Stream is made suitable for a wide range of systems, just add your choice of amp and speakers.
Features
- Roon Ready – Roon Ready certification means the NEO Stream slots straight 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 the NEO Stream and access audio content from online services.
- Tidal Connect and Spotify Connect – Stream straight from these integrated online music services.
- Apple Airplay – Easy streaming from Apple devices.
- NAA operation – Serious enthusiast? The NEO Stream can operate as a Network Audio Adapter. It directs packets of audio data received over Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable straight to the connected
- DAC without applying processing.
- Four-channel True Native hi-res DAC design – supports PCM 768kHz and DSD 512,
- Powerful 16-core XMOS processor – performs full MQA decoding (to 384kHz)
- NAS drive – stream from a local storage device using the ‘Stream-iFi’ app.
- TDK C0G (Class 1 ceramic) capacitors offer high stability and low losses for resonant circuit applications.
- Panasonic OS-CON caps totaling 5,410uF give very-low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR), excellent noise reduction capability and frequency response characteristics.
- Tantalum capacitors
- The XMOS 16-Core chip - delivers double the clock speed (2000MIPS) and four times the memory (512KB), as well as the latest SuperSpeed USB standard.
- muRata control-type, low-ESR high-Q multi-layer capacitors
- Texas Instruments low-noise ICs offer great unity-gain bandwidth, very low noise and distortion, high output drive capability, Common-mode and Power Supply Rejection Ratios of over 100 dB, wide maximum-output-swing bandwidths and high slew rates.
The NEO Stream’s integral DAC stage takes your streaming enjoyment to another level. Thanks to the DAC chip’s four-channel True Native design, PCM and DSD take separate pathways and remain ‘bit-perfect’ in their direct-native form, right through to analogue conversion. In the case of DSD, there is no conversion to PCM or application of multi-bit processing – this is unusual and makes the NEO Stream an excellent choice for DSD purists.
Unique Optical LAN
If you are looking to connect to your network router via cable rather than relying on Wi-Fi you will benefit from the highest quality digital audio connection possible between the router and the streamer with the optical LAN option on the Neo Stream. Alongside its RJ45 and M12 ports . Connect the OptiBox transceiver to the router, and the NEO Stream to the OptiBox via an optical cable. The LAN signal from the router is regenerated, reclocked and rebalanced by the OptiBox; true galvanic isolation is applied, with zero parasitic capacitance and inductance. Both the OptiBox and cable are included.
- Ultra-fast data speeds of up to 10Gbps
- Bit-perfect transmission of ultra-resolution audio
- Minimal degradation across distances of up to 1km
Exclusive Modes
Exclusive Modes are individual settings that optimise performance by focusing operation on one mode of use. There are specific settings for Roon, Tidal Masters, DLNA and NAA, as well as a general mode for multi-platform use. Four user-selectable digital filters, each of which has a subtle but clearly discernible effect on sound, can be switched according to personal taste and music choice:
- Bit-Perfect
- GTO (Gibbs Transient Optimised)
- Minimum Phase
- Standard
Technology
The NEO Stream has more clarity and texture, and a more dynamic and engaging performance – quite simply, you hear more of the music, just as the artist intended. The NEO Stream achieves no noise and distortion from the audio signal through its use of variour technologies:
- USB ports use our ANC II active noise cancellation technology
- S/PDIF outputs incorporate iPurifier technology
- The digital signal is regulated by our femto-precision GMT (Global Master Timing) clock to eradicate jitter
- The retina-grade TFT display boasts SilentLine design so no electrical noise interferes with the audio signal
- Circuit components with low ESR, high linearity and low noise mean great sound quality
Voltage regulators with high PSRR (Power Supply Rejection Ratio), low idle current and low dropout equal low power supply noise and a synchronous 1.2MHz high-speed power supply controller to improve filtering efficiency mean power supply noise is vanishingly low.
