The Stream-XR is our best performing and feature-rich network streaming DAC that complements the high-end XR series, offering uncompromising sound quality. Compared to the Classic STREAM, it comes with a high-resolution display, capacitive touch buttons and includes two presets for instant access to your favourite radio or music service.

The Stream-XR benefits from the onboard award winning 2nd generation QXR DAC, which offers two digital inputs, that brings additional flexible digital connectivity to any system. With the high quality components expected from any product in the XR series, the Stream-XR extracts more content and emotions from any musical performance. Additionally, it is also compatible with our intelligent external power supply – the PSU-XR, which takes the performance to another level.

 

Utilising the renowned BluOS streaming platform, the Stream-XR comes fully packaged with all the features and benefits you would expect from a modern streamer. The ongoing development and support for BluOS is secured by a third party, providing a guarantee that the BluOS software will be maintained and developed well into the future, should new streaming options become available.

Using advanced technologies, the Stream-XR can wirelessly transmit lossless music up to 24-bit/192kHz at lightning-fast speeds across your home network with no lag and zero loss in sound quality, and also allows you to connect with your own digital music library, all via the intuitive BluOS app.

Available for iOS, Android, Kindle, Mac or PC computers, the app allows music playback from all the major audio streaming services such as Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, Spotify and dozens of others as well as Roon (pending), Airplay2 and also allows for MQA decoding.

If it is uncompromising sound quality, coupled with the convenience and ease of use of the BluOS streaming platform that you are looking for – give the Stream-XR a listen!

 

DAC PERFORMANCE

The DAC output stage of the Stream-XR features the 2nd generation of our award-winning QXR DAC, which includes a high-speed analogue buffer stage. The QXR DAC design is based on the ESS ES9038Q2M chipset, which has had every component analysed by our engineering team, coupled with the layout being fully optimised to tune the DAC to achieve the highest possible performance. The result is a DAC that reconstructs the analogue signal with incredible accuracy and precision, revealing layers and depth that will have you listening back through your complete music collection.

ROON READY

Roon brings all your music together, so you don’t have to worry about where it’s stored, what format it’s in, or where you stream it from. Roon supports music files stored on internal and external hard drives and NAS, your iTunes library, live radio stations and streamed content from Tidal and Qobuz.
