A complete streaming solution. Just add speakers. 

Fusing the NEO iDSD’s award-winning DAC with our proprietary network streaming technology, the NEO Stream becomes a high-resolution digital audio hub, designed for enthusiasts.  

Distinctly different. Digitally disruptive.

Our use of proprietary tech makes the NEO Stream distinctly different. No ‘bought-in’ platform, No specific control app. Our own optimized streaming engine delivers seamless operation and superb sound, making it ideal for music lovers who value exceptional audio quality with the freedom to use their preferred app or platform, all at a reasonable price.

Simply seamless streaming

The NEO Stream offers seamless integration with various platforms:

  • Roon Ready: Connects directly to Roon environments.
  • DLNA/UPnP: Compatible with apps like BubbleUPnP, mconnect, and Audirvana for flexible control.
  • Tidal & Spotify Connect: Stream directly from these services.
  • Apple Airplay 2: Easy streaming from Apple devices.
  • NAA Operation: Ideal for enthusiasts, bypassing processing for pure audio.

Custom DAC

The NEO Stream’s integral DAC stage takes your streaming enjoyment to another level.

  • 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)

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.

Unique Optical LAN

For a superior network connection, the NEO Stream offers a unique optical LAN option alongside standard RJ45 and M12 ports. With iFi's own technology, connect the OptiBox transceiver to your router, linking it to the NEO Stream via an optical cable—both included.

Advantages:

  • Ultra-fast speeds up to 1Gbps
  • Bit-perfect ultra-res audio transmission
  • Minimal signal loss over distances up to 1km

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 has been painstakingly engineered to remove noise and distortion from the audio signal: USB ports use our ANC II active noise cancellation technology and S/PDIF outputs incorporate iPurifier technology
