    Custom DAC

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

    • Four-channel True Native hi-res DAC design ‚Äì supports PCM 768kHz and DSD 512,
    • Powerful 16-core XMOS processor ‚Äì 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. 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.
