iFi Audio - Neo Stream - Network Audio Streamer with DAC

Built by passionate enthusiasts, for passionate enthusiasts.

Sweet streams…

The NEO Stream is built to deliver optimal versatility and sonic performance.

It combines the latest version of the network streaming engine with the award-winning DAC stage to deliver a level of audio previously unattainable without spending much more than its $1,299 price tag. Just add your choice of amp and speakers.

Distinctly different.

The use of proprietary tech makes the NEO Stream distinctly different. No ‘bought-in’ platform. No specific control app. iFi's own streaming engine. Fully optimized for seamless operation and excellent sonic performance.

Functionally and sonically, it’s the ideal streamer for passionate music lovers who want to experience their music with exceptional sound quality through their own choice of control app or music platform. Without the exorbitant price tag.

Custom DAC

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

"Suits you, sir"

Several different settings allow users to tailor the NEO Stream’s performance to suit their system and the way they like to stream. Exclusive Modes are individual settings that optimize 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 the sound, can be switched according to personal taste and music choice:

• Bit-Perfect
• GTO (Gibbs Transient Optimised)
• Minimum Phase
• Standard

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.
