The MX-Stream is a universal, transport-only network device that can take any online or network
streaming service to your integrated amplifier or DAC. All you need is an existing USB Class 2.0 Audio
input. The MX-Stream's digital audio circuitry is a complete custom design from scratch. We have
separate power supplies and high-end voltage stabilization components for all the different PCB units.
We have advanced re-clocking – even the main CPU is operated by an audio optimized clock, which is
completely unheard in typical streaming solutions, as they typically run with standard CPU clocks like
those in regular computers. Every incoming digital signal is cleaned up from the very beginning. All audio
files that come in and out, are the best they can be by eliminating all unwanted noise that can be found
in common streaming solutions. With an optimized software, we were able to push this high-tech
hardware design to its absolute limits. All of this resulted in the first near-zero jitter streamer we have
ever seen.
The MX-Stream is the perfect add-on for any integrated amplifier or DAC with USB B input. Not only is
the technology inside the MX-Stream complete cutting-edge high-end, every analog circuit in integrated
analog amps displays increased performance, when digital circuits and power supplies are kept separate
from the analog circuitry. By squeezing in a lot of digital circuits, additional high frequency distortion
across the entire system can be observed. Coming from the other direction, huge power supplies for pre
and power amps with lots of magnetic radiation impact digital circuit performance negatively. By
keeping streaming and amplification separate we can achieve our true high-end sound vision to greater
effect and at a more affordable cost, while also guaranteeing the longest lifetime of our amplifiers and
streamers.
