{"product_id":"nuprimestream9xbl","title":"NuPrime Stream 9X Network Streamer, Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe NuPrime Stream 9X is a network streamer with hi-res upsampling that brings existing hi-fi chains losslessly into the multiroom era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's the answer for anyone by Lake Zürich who wants to feed their system flexibly with streaming services without skimping on sound quality – a little Swiss Army knife for digital audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Stream 9X?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt its heart is the SRC chip (Sampling Rate Converter): it takes the digital input signal and polishes it via upsampling to up to 768 kilohertz or DSD256 before outputting it with low jitter. It's a bit like running an old, grainy photo through software that redraws every detail razor-sharp. While many streamers throw in the towel at 192 kilohertz, the NuPrime is only just getting started.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Orbit Mini hi-res module supports AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Roon Ready, and DLNA – maximum freedom, whether from an iPhone, an Android tablet, or a music server. An ultra-low-noise linear power supply delivers a quiet, black background from which the music emerges powerfully. Even Bluetooth sounds so good thanks to aptX HD that you almost forget there's no cable attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVideo\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/61xOKn8vvH4\" title=\"NuPrime Audio 9 series\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Stream 9X for – and who is it not for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for the multiroom enthusiast looking for a central \"brain\" for distribution, and for DAC owners whose good converter has no network function. Straight talk: if you only listen to Spotify Free through phone speakers, you don't need this precision device. And because the Stream 9X only outputs digitally, a decent DAC has to sit right behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA highly flexible hi-res streamer that cleverly upgrades existing systems – provided a good converter is already in place or planned. The upsampling and the clean power supply set it apart from simple network bridges. If you think of your chain in modules, this gives you a versatile centrepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Network streamer \/ streaming transport (purely digital outputs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStreaming platform:\u003c\/strong\u003e Libre (Go Control app for iOS \u0026amp; Android)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtocols:\u003c\/strong\u003e AirPlay 2, Google Cast, DLNA, Roon Ready\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStreaming services:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSampling Rate Converter (SRC):\u003c\/strong\u003e PCM up to 768 kilohertz\/32-bit, DSD up to DSD256\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWi-Fi:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual-band 802.11 b\/g\/n (2.4\/5 GHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.0 with aptX HD (receive, up to 30 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1x LAN (RJ45), 1x optical S\/PDIF, 1x coaxial S\/PDIF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1x I2S (HDMI-style), 1x AES\/EBU, 1x optical, 1x coaxial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W x H x D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 235 × 55 × 281 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.3 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black or Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stream 9X, remote control, dual-band antennas, power cable, user manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Stream 9X have a built-in amplifier or DAC?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The Stream 9X is a pure network streamer with exclusively digital outputs (I2S, AES\/EBU, optical, coaxial). It needs a separate D\/A converter and amplification. In return, its internal SRC chip upgrades your signal via upsampling to up to 768 kilohertz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the Stream 9X also upgrade older digital sources?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Via the optical and coaxial inputs you can connect, say, an old CD player. The internal SRC chip upsamples this signal too and passes it on to your converter with low jitter – an affordable way to bring existing devices sonically into the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich streaming services and protocols does the Stream 9X support?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAirPlay 2, Google Cast, DLNA, and Roon Ready, as well as Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and Qobuz Connect. Google Cast allows high-resolution streaming up to 96 kilohertz\/24-bit. Local network files and internet radio also work – no paid subscription required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Stream 9X send Bluetooth to headphones?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Straight talk: it receives Bluetooth (with aptX HD) from your phone, but doesn't transmit anything to headphones. It's a receiving station for your stationary system. If you only want to supply wireless headphones, the Stream 9X is the wrong address.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy the NuPrime Stream 9X at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause a streamer without a matching DAC only shines halfway.
