Streamers

Streamers

Thanks to interweb magics, it's now possible to listen to just about any piece of audio ever recorded whenever you feel like it. How good it sounds though, is going to depend on your streamer. Streamers connect to the internet, pull your music across the world (or your network) and play it back on demand. Streamers not only need to sound good, but they've got to help make it easy for you to find that Whitney Houston track late on a Saturday night after your fourth gin and tonic. Don't worry, your secret is safe with us.

  • Aurender A30 Flagship Streamer

    The A30 is Aurender's flagship best of the best audio streamer, server, CD ripper and DAC. A jack of all trades and master of them ALL. This is the ultimate in what digital front end can do. Every inch of it is thought out and executed to perfection.

    This unit is going to sit in our reference system with the Sonus Faber Aida 2.

  • Auralic Leo GX.1 Reference Master Clock (inc Premium Cable)

    LEO GX.1 is a breakthrough in digital audio system clocking — the first master clock ever
    that can feed a DAC directly with a working signal so precise we had to use new
    benchmarks to measure its performance. Wider staging, pinpoint locational accuracy, and
    an expanded dynamic range are just some of the benefits you’ll hear when you implement
    LEO GX.1’s one-of-a-kind approach to clocking that literally bypasses the traditional
    limitations of internal DAC clocks.

  • Aurender A15

    Aureder A15 is a do-it-all box that is transparent and revealing in its sound. If you value accuracy and what a streamer with all the bells and whistles then this is the unit for you.

    It has a DAC on board and can function as a preamplifier as well. But if you have an integrated amplifier or a dedicated preamplifier you can dismantle the preamplifier function by selecting direct out.

    This unit has 2 bays available for inserting your own hard drives into it. Aurender leaves the choice of hard drive up to you which I like actually! For some people 4TB seems like a huge amount, for others, the'll want it pimped out to 16TB. 

    Like any other Aurender, the A15 uses internal caching. This means when any track is selected it will be downloaded onto the internal SSD before it's played. Once it's in that temporary storage on the unit, you don't have to worry about buffering that track will play seamlessly. This system also makes things sound better creating more isolation.

    What we also love about Aurender units and the A15 is no exception, is the internal tech support. If something's not working quite right or if you just have a question simply go to the link in the app and someone will sort it out for you,

  • Naim NSC 222 New Classic series streaming preamplifier

    This is a unit that is ultimately a high-end Hi-Fi component but it's ease of use and multitude of functions put it into the upmarket lifestyle realm as well. 'Lifestyle' for me has become a bit of a cringeworthy term that has too often become associated with some compromise in audio quality for the sake of a better end user experience. To be honest though, we should be aiming for both and they are not mutually exclusive!

    Naim embody that ease of use combined with incredible sound. Their streaming app works every time, they have on board DACs to simplify connections and the units are sleek, beautifully finished yet understated and classy. 

    And this combination takes things to the next level. Where the Uniti Nova lets you down on separation and power to drive a difficult set of speakers, this combination proffers that in spades. 

    We tried a couple of different sets of speakers with these three units and like them most with the Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage...but come in and try some combinations for yourself.

    Naim products bought from us, a genuine approved Naim dealer, include the full 2 year warranty.

    The ACS10 is a streamer, CD ripper, hard drive storage & caching server. A veritable do-it-all unit for your digital front end.

  • Auralic Altair G2.1 Streaming DAC preamplifier

    The Altair G2.1 is the unit in Auralic's range that does it all. A Preamplifier, DAC and Streamer with options to put in a 2TB hard drive and even a CD ripper. 

    The Preamplifier is also a full blown analogue preamplifier. Not only does it have the analogue line and Moving Magnet phono inputs, it also doesn't simply convert these into digital signals within the chassis. Rather they are kept completely separate from the digital circuitry. Also the volume control is an analogue design based on resistive ladder construction. A less noisy, cleaner choice than other designs out there. Such all-in-one units have tended to use cheaper less fullfilling preamplifier modules that I normally recommend customers to bypass. That's not the case here.

    Also a superior power supply and thick copper shielded chassis with isolating feet mean that noise and vibrations are kept to an absolute minimum. Couple that with a pair of super accurate clocks reducing jitter and this is a unit that stands above others in its category.

    Clean, effortless sound and a unit that ticks all the boxes.

  • Naim NDX 2, Network Streamer excellence, EX-DEMO

    A network player or streamer has become an essential part of a modern HiFi system and for the very best in musicality, you can't go past a Naim. The NDX2 is one of their very best devices to date and is a delight to use. Put this together with the Supernait amplifier and you have a friend for life in your music. The NDX2 is getting into some pretty serious territory but it more than holds its own. This is about extended bass and a warm treble nature that is far away from the digital harshness of many products.

    It really is no wonder that Naim have quickly become one of the best in the business at producing Streamers. From their inception, they've been focused on not just putting wires and components together to make the biggest amplifiers. They're about finding the cleanest most emotionally effective way to deliver music to a listener. A lot of their effort has gone into power supplies and the brilliance that's musically created when a units power source is perfectly engineered. 

    All those 40 years of design expertise has been poured into what is to date one of the very best streamers that I've heard. The synergy of useability and music quality they have achieved with the NDX2 is remarkable.

  • Aurender N150 Streamer and Caching Music Server

    Aurender is the new kid at Carlton Audio Visual. The choice for digital streaming options in the realm of real HiFi has blossomed over the last couple of years and for the uninitiated the nuances and the differences between a good digital front end and an incredible digital front end get lost in a lot of computer terminology.

    Like a caching server. What is caching? And whiy is it useful in a streamer?

    Caching is a temporary storage of information using certain drive and memory chip hardware. Having this caching server on board the streamer means the music files are stored right there at the streamer once selected so data is handled at dramatically increased speeds. It also eliminates annoying drop out problems from sub optimal internet connections.

    This all means a better musical experience.

    And more than the caching server, the Aurenders examine all the detail within the circuitry and connections in their units to reduce or eliminate noisy electronic componentry corrupting the musical signal. This means quieter noise floor, more detail and soundstage...in essence...more Music, less noise!

  • Marantz SACD30N ... the Model 30 CD player and streamer

    This is something of a reincarnation product but with rather cutting edge digital disc and streaming tech . . Made in Japan with love. Physically the SA30 is actually gorgeous, the photos don't do it justice, it really exudes a quality aesthetic presence. In combination with the matching amp it is a piece of Hi Fi art that will make people who know nothing about stereo want to go and fondle it inappropriately ...

  • Yamaha RN2000A Streaming Receiver ... heavy cruiser stereo tuner amp

    Have your cake and eat it with a Yamaha Receiver born again for the third decade of the 21st Century … the RN2000 is going to be very much in demand. In some ways this hearkens back to the Receiver wars of the seventies where the likes of Yamaha Marantz Sansui and Hitachi made increasingly higher powered and more heavily buttoned AM FM receivers that became the battleships of the marketplace. This RN2000 is more of a Heavy Cruiser than a Yamato class product though ... Like the Heavy Cruisers of the Japanese Navy in the early forties, the RN2000 is outstandingly useful and versatile with a remarkable number of functions and high performance in a single chassis. Unlike the mad flagship battleships they proved to be tough and largely survived the awful depredations of the Pacific war until sunk as target practice in 1946.

    This RN2000 is really nice though, actually a straightforward combination of the highly acclaimed AS1200 stereo amplifier with a high grade multifunction streaming engine and DAC. Come and listen to it through sweet natured loudspeakers. The FM section by the way is absolutely fantastic, hearkening back to the Yamaha T7 tuner of yore that is considered a reference for analogue broadcast quality.

  • Auralic Aries G1.1

    The previous Aries G1 has been superb but relatively Auralic has released a new model with some significant upgrades including a high mass base and it now supports Airplay 2.

    The new high mass plate not only looks great but increases sonic performance as well.

    Reviewers have been very positive with the upgrades for the new version as well. Jason from The Ear says when compared to its predecessor:

    "what surprised [him] given that they aren’t that different under the skin was that the G1.1 sounded so much better. It has finer detail, is fuller and richer and even excels when it comes to melody, painting a much more complete picture of the music.”

  • Cyrus Stream-XR

    This is the much anticipated Cyrus Stream XR - the high end streamer from the boutique British manufacturer.

    Cyrus has always produced musical streamers without a brittle harshness to the sound that often creeps in to this purely digital medium. They have a lyricalness akin to vinyl that is effortlessly listenable.

    The new Cyrus streamers, the Stream XR included, now use the BluOs software also used in the Bluesound gear. But they haven't deviated from the path of the essential Cyrus sound. Both of the new Cyrus streamers exude that classic Cyrus musicality...but now with a seamless, easy-to-use software interface! 

    You can now pair a Cyrus Streamer with a Bluesound all-in-one speaker for an easy to set up multi-room audio system. Win all round.

    The Stream XR has the highly lauded QXR DAC onboard. A DAC that eeks out the finest details of music against an inky blackness devoid of background noise.

    Expect a wider soundstage and musical emotionality.

    This unit can also be paired with the Cyrus PSU-XR power supply which will make this great unit, an epic.

    We love this upgradability. Being able to invest in a piece of high quality HiFi that will stay with you on the upgrade journey.

    These units have already been extremely popular and we have pre sold a handful before they even arrived in Australia and we expect them to be one of our most popular high-end digital front ends.
