Uncompromising Digital Architecture
At the heart of the TruStream sits an ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M 32-bit DAC driven by RK3399 ARM processors — the same platform used in professional streaming equipment. It is Roon Ready and supports Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, TuneIn, and AirPlay 2. DLNA and SMB-CIFS network storage, USB storage, and local file playback are all supported alongside gapless playback.
Comprehensive Connectivity
Both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) analogue outputs are provided, alongside optical and coaxial digital outputs. A dedicated headphone amplifier with current-feedback design handles impedances from 20–600Ω with aplomb. Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band) and wired Gigabit Ethernet ensure a stable network connection, with WPS pairing for quick wireless setup.
Supported Formats
FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, APE, DSF/DIFF/DoP (DSD), MP3, WMA, AAC, OGG. PCM up to 768kHz; DSD64/128/256/512.
