Build You Own World-Class Music Streamer!

Easy to follow DIY Instructions

Build it to your specifications:

Anyone with the skills to build a computer can build a world-class streamer.

Our kits provide you with the ultimate integrated linear power supply and our blog provides you with all the information you need to build a custom music streamer that rivals the best-of-the-best for a fraction of the price.

  • Modular: you only pay for what you need.
  • Obsolete proof: adapts as technology or your needs change.
  • 5X isolated ultralow-noise ultrahigh-dynamic power supplies.
  • Independently power motherboard, drives, cards, and master clock.
  • Install your own USB, Ethernet, I2S, S/PDIF, AES/EBU, or Optical PCI cards.
  • Use high-performance cards from JCAT, SOtM, Pink Faun, and After Dark.
  • Upgrade your performance with a synchronized OCXO master clock.
  • Runs any Windows or Linux based player software or DSP software.
  • Roon, HQ Player, JRiver, Euphony Stylus, Tidal, Qobuz, and more.


Four DIY Options:

We offer four DIY options to meet the needs of music lovers with different systems, different budgets, and different degrees of technical expertise:

  • Power supply kit for you Streacom FC10 chassis.
  • Power supply installed in Streacom FC10 chassis.
  • Bare bones streamer with high efficiency Celeron CPU and 8GB RAM.
  • Bare bones streamer with powerful 3.8GHz i7 CPU and 32GB RAM.
All DIY options are available in a variety of voltages to meet your needs.

  • Power any mini-ITX motherboard and CPU with up to TDP 65w.
  • Power any motherboard or ATX power adapter that requires 12V-19V.
  • Power any PCI cards, storage drives, or clocks that require 5V-12V.
  • Four 4-pin PATA power supplies to power standard computer components.
NOTE: our integrated power supply has enough current to power a motherboard, 35w CPU, SSD, Ethernet card, USB card, and master clock. Or enough current to power a mini-ITX motherboard and TDP 65w CPU.

If you need more power, please contact us to discuss other options.


Bare Bones Options:

With the bare bones options you get a fully tested chassis, power supply, motherboard, and RAM, but there are no drives, cards, or clocks.

Our bare bones streamer with ASRock IMB-154 high efficiency motherboard has an embedded Intel Quad-Core Celeron N3160 CPU and 8GB of high-performance Corsair Vengeance RAM.

This is more than enough power to stream music from the internet, play music files from your SSD, and do modest upsampling. And the incredibly efficient 7w total power consumption minimizes heat and noise.

The IMB-154 has two Ethernet ports, four USB ports, HDMI port, PCIe slot, and can integrate mini SATA and mini PCIe cards.

If you require more processing power, we offer a bare bones option with a Mitac PH12SI-D motherboard, Intel i7-7700T 4-core 3.8Ghz CPU, and 32GB of high-performance Corsair Vengeance RAM.

This combination has all the processing power you’ll need to perform the most intensive DSP applications.

The Mitac PH12SI-D has two Ethernet ports, four USB ports, HDMI port, PCIe slot, and can use mini PCIe and half-size mini PCIe cards.

Either bare bones option could be used with any two PCIe cards, a master clock, and an SSD with up to 16TB of storage.

We also offer remanufacturing services that allow you to send us your boards, drives, cards, and clocks, for us to install into an FC10 chassis.

Contact us if you have any special requests.


No-compromise LC choke-input power supply:

Our integrated Illuminati power supply uses LC choke-input typology for uncompromising performance. An LC choke-input power supply is the largest, heaviest, least efficient, and most expensive typology you can use.

LC choke-input power supplies have the highest impedance to AC, lowest impedance to DC, 50% the crest factor and heat of a capacitive power supply and require a power transformer that is 50% larger.

No small difference.

This translates to a power supply that has the lowest noise, the most effortless dynamic performance, the most isolation from AC noise, and the most durability of any power supply typology.

  • Ultralow-noise: <50uV peak-to-peak noise/ripple.
  • Ultrafast-recovery: <10uS settling time from zero to full output.
  • Ultrafast ultralow-noise zero-recovery SiC Schottky diode bridge.
  • One 10A Belleson SPRU ultralow-noise ultrahigh-dynamic regulator.
  • Four 3A Belleson SPX ultralow-noise ultrahigh-dynamic regulators.
  • LC choke input power supply w/ Lundahl balanced C-core choke.
  • 200VA toroidal power transformer with steel shielding can.
  • Organic polymer capacitors with ESR as low as 7mOhms.
  • WIMA metallized film bypass capacitors.
  • Furutech FI-06G AC power inlet.
  • Laboratory grade AC power filter.
  • 5A continuous and 8A peak current.
  • Over-current protection on each power supply.
  • Module utilizes chassis heat sink and existing mounting holes.
  • .25" thick aluminum choke shielding barrier with 2.5" drive mount.


Streacom FC10 Alpha Chassis:

  • Available in SILVER or BLACK with fine sandblast anodized finish.
  • Premium Grade 6063 aluminum with 4mm Thick Extruded Panels.
  • Two Expansion card slots with a maximum length of 180mm.
  • Four copper heat pipes can handle up to a TDP 95w CPU.
  • Dimension: 440mm W x 319mm D x 100mm H.
