Features

• Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, & AirPlay 2 compatible
• Adds streaming capability to your cherished system
• Sonically upgrades your existing streamer

Custom DAC

The NEO Streams integral DAC stage takes your streaming enjoyment to another level. Thanks to the DAC chips 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

Connecting to your network router via cable rather than relying on Wi-Fi? The NEO Stream includes a unique option alongside its RJ45 and M12 ports optical LAN. This is iFi's own technology. Connect the OptiBox transceiver to the router, and the NEO Stream to the OptiBox via an optical cable. Both the OptiBox and cable are included. Benefit from the highest quality digital audio connection possible between the router and the streamer.

• Ultra-fast data speeds of up to 10Gbps
• Bit-perfect transmission of ultra-resolution audio
• Minimal degradation across distances of up to 1km

Suits You, Sir

Several different settings allow users to tailor the NEO Streams performance to suit their system and the way they like to stream. 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.

Come On, Heal the Noise

The NEO Stream has been painstakingly engineered to remove noise and distortion from the audio signal.

• USB ports use iFi's ANC II active noise cancellation technology.
• S/PDIF outputs incorporate iPurifier technology.
• The digital signal is regulated by iFi's 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.
• Synchronous 1.2MHz high-speed power supply controller to improve filtering efficiency mean power supply noise is vanishingly low.

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
