Elegant. Versatile. Uncompromising.

Our "One Box Wonder" modular streamer gives you world-class performance and unparalleled versatility. No need for a bunch of "magic boxes" connected by a rat's nest of expensive digital cables and power cords.

We've put an Ethernet switch, Ethernet reclocker, library storage, "core" controller, USB reclocker, master clock, and five power supplies, all into one elegant chassis.

  • Versatile and Modular: you only pay for what you need.
  • Five power supplies isolate motherboard, drives, cards, and clocks.
  • High-performance USB, Ethernet, I2S, S/PDIF, AES/EBU, or optical cards.
  • Run any Windows or Linux based player software or DSP software.
  • Obsolete proof: adapts as technology or your needs change.
Performance that rivals the best-of-the-best streamers for a fraction of the price.

Why get locked into an "appliance" when you can own a modular system that adapts as technology or your needs change?


Unparalleled Versatility:

Our modular design allows us to use any audiophile software and components:

  • Any mini-ITX motherboard and CPU with up to TDP 65w.
  • Any cards, clocks, and modules from JCAT, SOtM, Pink Faun, and After Dark.
  • Optional synchronized OCXO master clock upgrade.
  • Run Roon, HQ Player, JRiver, Euphony Stylus, Tidal, Qobuz, and more.
  • Obsolete proof: adapts as technology or your needs change.
Our integrated power supply has enough current to power a motherboard with 3.8GHz i7 CPU, two PCI cards, master clock, and SSD.

If you require more processing power, video card, excessive library storage, or an integrated optical drive, please contact us about one of our options with up to a TDP 95w CPU and an external power supply.


No-compromise Illuminati 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.
  • Integrated power supply utilizes chassis heat sink.
  • .25" thick aluminum choke shielding barrier with 2.5" drive mount.


Recommended configurations:

We offer both a high efficiency and a high power motherboard/CPU option.

Our 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 high power 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.

Because of their incredible performance, versatility, and standard PATA power supplies, we recommend JCAT Ethernet cards, USB cards, and master clocks.


Custom configurations:

If you require I2S, optical, or AES/EBU ports, please contact us for availability and pricing of SOtM, Sonare, M2 Tech, Pink Faun, After Dark, RME, or Lynx products.

Because of its incredible performance, versatility, and stability, we recommend Euphony Stylus player and RAM-root Linux software.

The Euphony platform can be run independently or you can embed your Roon, HQ Player, Tidal, Qobuz, and YouTube licenses to integrate features or streaming.

If you require player software aside from Euphony Stylus please contact us.

We can build you a custom streamer to meet any specifications.
