The new NEO Stream 3 delivers best-in-class sound through intelligent, uncompromising hardware design and signal optimization:
Upgraded polymer and ELNA Silmic II caps for cleaner power and smoother treble response.
USB and S/PDIF outputs use a femto-precision clock combined with Active Noise Cancellation and iPurification tech, respectively, for ultra-low distortion performance.
The included OptiBox adds optical galvanic isolation to eliminate wired network noise.
User-selectable Exclusive Modes shut down unnecessary OS processes to minimise software noise and jitter.
The new NEO Stream 3 features JVCKENWOOD’s K2HD Technology, which takes the often cold, clinical character of many modern recordings, then restores harmonic content lost in post-production or encoding, while also upsampling any audio track below 192kHz. The result is renewed depth, nuance, and musicality – a truer representation of the original master, and of the artists’ and engineers’ intent. Previously available exclusively to select iFi audio DACs, K2HD technology is now available to any DAC connected to a NEO Streamer.
