Custom DAC
The NEO Stream’s integral DAC stage takes your streaming enjoyment to another level.
Four-channel True Native hi-res DAC design – supports PCM 768kHz and DSD 512,
Powerful 16-core XMOS processor – 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.
