In addition to returning favourites like Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, Roon, AirPlay and more, the NEO Stream 3 also supports Qobuz Connect, enabling bit-perfect playback straight from the Qobuz app. For listeners with an existing digital music library, NAS and USB HDD support ensures all your favourites are within reach, while DLNA support unlocks broad compatibility with a wide range of players and audio controllers. Setup, Simplified With the NEO Stream 3, getting connected has never been easier. An all new IoT chip enables seamless pairing between the NEO Stream 3 and your home WiFi using the iFi Nexis app. Once you’re connected, Nexis directly integrates our streaming engine’s user interface to transform your smartphone into a powerful remote control. No more web browsers or IP addresses; just simple, direct access, in the palm of your hand. Built to Sound Better The NEO Stream 3 delivers best-in-class sound through intelligent, uncompromising hardware design and signal optimisation: Studio-Grade Restoration for any Setup The NEO Stream is the latest in iFi’s lineup to incorporate JVCKENWOOD’s K2HD Technology, which takes the often cold, clinical character of many modern recordings, then restores harmonic content lost in post-production or encoding, while also up sampling any audio track below 192kHz. The result is renewed depth, nuance and musicality – a truer representation of the original master, and of the artists’ and engineers’ intent. Previously available exclusively to select iFi audio DACs, any DAC connected to a NEO Stream can now enjoy the incredible benefits of K2HD technology. Wi-Fi Setup, Made Simple Ethernet delivers the most stable streaming experience and the fastest initial setup, but for those who want wireless, our Nexis app provides a new way of pairing to your router over Bluetooth. Nexis also gives you direct access to advanced streamer settings, connected storage devices, and seamless over-the-air updates, all from one place. NEO Design: The Purist’s Delight The NEO Stream 3 follows the design philosophy of its siblings – more than just an aesthetic, every NEO offers a complete, comprehensive solution for the needs of audio purists. For the NEO Stream 3, the foundation of this approach is the award-winning DAC stage, built around a Burr-Brown chipset. Selected for its natural detail and musicality, the chipset’s unique architecture processes PCM and DSD via separate pathways, preserving a bit-perfect signal all the way through to analogue conversion. The DAC stage is then highly customised to allow sample rates far beyond the standard specifications. The result is a true all-in-one solution for purist Hi-Fi performance. In one stroke, the NEO Stream 3 adds a complete digital audio package, free from performance bottlenecks, from source to speakers.
