Just Add Speakers
iFi has taken the advanced DAC circuitry of their NEO iDSD 2 and incorporated the latest generation of their network streaming engine for the NEO Stream 3. With built-in native support for Spotify, Tidal Qobuz and more, the NEO Stream 3 is the centerpiece of an enthusiasts' setup. Just add your favorite speakers and let it take center stage.
Studio-Grade Restoration
Digital masters often miss the warmth and richness of their analog roots, leaving you with sound that's cold and lifeless. JVCKENWOOD's K2HD technology restores the depth, nuance, and musicality of the original performance. Once exclusive to select iFi DACs, the NEO Stream 3 can now breathe life into any DAC, amp, or home setup.
Built to Sound Better
The NEO Stream 3 delivers best-in-class sound through intelligent hardware design and signal optimization.
- Upgraded polymer and ELNA Silmic II caps for cleaner power and smoother treble
- USB and S/PDIF outputs use a femto-precision clock combined with ANC and iPurifier tech for precise, low distortion performance
- Included OptiBox adds optical galvanic isolation to effectively eliminate network noise
- User-selectable Exclusive Modes shut down unnecessary OS processes to minimize software jitter, ensuring purist playback
DSD Purists' Delight
Inspired by the NEO iDSD 2, the NEO Stream 3 uses a custom DAC stage built around a Burr-Brown chipset, hand-picked by iFi for its natural musicality. Its unique architecture processes PCM and DSD via separate pathways, preserving a bit-perfect signal all the way through to analog conversion.
Setup, Simplified
Getting connected has never been easier. An all-new IoT chip enables seamless pairing between the NEO Stream 3 and your home Wi-Fi using the iFi Nexis app. Once connected, Nexis transforms your smartphone into a powerful remote control.
