Sonoro Streamer Network Streamer, Matte Black

The Sonoro Streamer is a network streamer with an ESS SABRE DAC on every output as well as stereo pre-out, line-out and optical output. It passes music from the network and from streaming services to an existing system with an amplifier or active speakers and fits into the wired sonoro multiroom system.

In other words: you already have a good amplifier – the Streamer teaches it the music.

Why the Sonoro Streamer?

Because it is the counterpart to the Sonoro Amplifier, but does without its own power amplifier. If you already own an amplifier and speakers, the Streamer adds network playback and multiroom instead of replacing your system. The devices connect via the network cable (audio over IP), and up to 32 sonoro systems are possible, depending on the network. Streaming is an option, not an obligation: internet radio, podcasts, network files via DLNA/UPnP, Bluetooth and USB work just as well.

What you hear

The Streamer provides the source, your amplifier and your speakers turn it into music. An ESS SABRE DAC converts the signal for every output. You pass it on to your system via the line-out (fixed level) or the stereo pre-out, a sub pre-out is ready for the subwoofer, and the optical output feeds an external converter. With bass, treble, balance, 7-band equaliser and bass management for systems up to 2.2 you can adapt the sound to the room and the speakers.

Who is the Sonoro Streamer suited for?

For anyone who wants to extend an existing system with streaming and multiroom, whether with analogue components, active speakers or a multichannel power amplifier. To be frank: if you don't have an amplifier yet, you are better served by the Sonoro Amplifier, because the Streamer does not drive speakers directly.

Our verdict

An unobtrusive building block with a clear job: it turns an existing system into a networked one without you having to buy everything new. With HDMI ARC including CEC, plenty of inputs and outputs and smart-home integration, it is a flexible source for the living room and the whole house.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Sonoro Streamer and the Sonoro Amplifier?

The Amplifier additionally has a power amplifier and drives speakers directly. The Streamer has no power amplifier and passes the signal on to an existing amplifier or to active speakers.

How do I connect the Streamer to my system?

Via the analogue line-out or the stereo pre-out to an input of your amplifier, or digitally via the optical output. We are happy to work out with you which route suits your system best.

Do I need a streaming subscription for the Streamer?

No. Internet radio, podcasts and files from your network work without a subscription. Streaming services are an option, not a requirement.

Can I combine the Streamer with the Amplifier?

Yes. Both belong to the wired sonoro multiroom system and can be operated together in one network.
