Streaming

A streaming amplifier combines a network player, D/A converter and power amp in one device – music from your home network, from Qobuz, Tidal or internet radio, straight to the speakers, without a separate source.

In this category you'll find three types: pure network streamers without their own power amp (for anyone who just wants to connect an existing system to the network), streaming amplifiers with a built-in power amp for a complete all-in-one setup, and streaming preamplifiers for anyone who already owns a power amp or wants to combine one deliberately. From compact entry-level units to reference amplifiers for the big listening room, HD Zürisee in Wädenswil has plenty on offer – we carry MOON, NAD, AVM, Advance Paris, Argon Audio and other brands in-house.

Important to know: a streaming subscription is an option, not a requirement. Every device here also plays internet radio and files from your home network completely without subscription fees – Spotify, Qobuz or Tidal come on top if you want them, not because you have to.

Which device suits your room, your speakers and your existing system is a question that's settled faster on the phone or in conversation than by scrolling through spec sheets – get in touch, we'll advise you independently of the brand you already have in mind.

Frequently asked questions

Do I absolutely need a subscription for a streaming amplifier?
No. Internet radio, files from a network server or USB stick run without a subscription. Qobuz, Tidal or Spotify Connect are additional options, not a must.

What's the difference between a streamer and a streaming amplifier?
A streamer only delivers the digital signal to an existing power amp. A streaming amplifier already has the power amp built in and drives the speakers directly.
