Stream High-Resolution DSD512 and 768kHz PCM, Configure Your Setup How You Want, and Simply Your Listening Experiences with the iFi NEO Stream 3 Network Audio Streamer/DAC

Sweet streams are made of this. Offering built-in native support for Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, and more, the iFi NEO Stream 3 brings high-resolution and streaming into a single component that simplifies your listening experience without sacrificing on sonics. Just connect to the power amplifier and speakers of your choice, and you're done.

Able to support up to DSD512 and 768kHz PCM, the 2.26-pound NEO Stream 3 seamlessly paired with your home WiFi network via the iFi Nexis app for easy setup and control. Open-source architecture with Qobuz Connect, JVCKenwood K2HD technology for restored depth, nuance, and musicality, and on-board Active Noise Cancelation and iPurifier features to remove distortion speak to its broad range of audiophile-minded functionality.

As does its build quality, which extends to OptiBox with optical galvanic isolation, high-end polymer and ELNA Silmic II capacitors, and USB and S/PDIF outputs that optimize a femto-precision clock. And purists, take note: User-selectable exclusive modes shut down unnecessary OS processes to minimize jitter. For the all-important DAC, NEO Stream 3 has a custom DAXC stage built around a Burr-Brown chipset that processes PCM and DSD via separate pathways, thereby preserving a bit-perfect signal all the way through to analog conversion.

Boasting a sleek form factor, NEO Stream 3 loads the back panel with an armada of connections. Three Ethernet, one Wi-Fi, and two USB-A digital inputs complement two USB-A, one optical, one coaxial, one AES/IBU, and one I2S digital output to help you arrange any system configuration you desire. You can also take advantage of a 4.4mm balanced and an SE RCA analog output. On the clean front panel, a USB-C input welcomes USB storage.

More than anything, though, NEO Stream 3 is a standout due to its clear, smooth, detailed sound and ultra-low-noise performance. To learn more about it or any of iFi's range, give us a call at 312-433-0200.
