Why We Built It?

In today’s audio market, consumers expect premium performance with seamless wireless connectivity and effortless access to streaming platforms—without needing multiple devices or complicated setups.

This shift pushes high-end products to evolve, combining amplifier, streaming, and control functionality into all-in-one streaming amplifiers—all under tight timelines and certification requirements.

StreamAmp Solo was built to meet these needs. It merges high-resolution streaming, signal processing, and embedded amplification into one compact, pre-integrated platform—minimizing integration effort and accelerating time to market.

Designed for integrated amplifiers, lifestyle audio systems, and preamplifiers, StreamAmp Solo provides a ready-to-use foundation that helps manufacturers move faster, reduce risk, and build products that meet both technical and market expectations.

Core Features

Broad Streaming Services Integration
StreamAmp Solo provides out-of-the-box support for widely adopted streaming protocols, including Apple AirPlay, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Roon, Bluetooth A2DP, UPnP, and Airable Internet Radio.

Built on the same architecture as StreamUnlimited’s standalone streamer solutions, all services are actively maintained within StreamSDK—minimizing long-term integration and update efforts for manufacturers. Additional services from the StreamSDK ecosystem can be integrated as needed.

Amplification and Power Supply
StreamAmp Solo offers four configurable audio output channels, which can be used for internal amplification or exposed as pre-outs for external amplification. This flexibility also allows the device to be configured purely as a preamplifier, depending on the intended system architecture.

The platform is optimized for both performance and efficiency, and by default supports Hypex NCORE® amplifier modules. The following models are available out of the box:

  • NC122MP (2 × 125 W)
  • NC252MP (2 × 250 W)
  • NC100HF (1 × 100 W)
  • NC502MP (2 × 500 W)
  • Alternative amp configurations are supported

Hardware Interfaces and Connectivity

Audio I/O

  • Analog (balanced and unbalanced)
  • SPDIF
  • Toslink
  • TV input
  • Optional: USB audio, USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) or external USB CD drive, Phono input

The input and output connectors are configurable. Reference PCB schematics can be modified to align with specific application needs, acknowledging that mechanical design and audio performance requirements may vary across product implementations.

Connectivity
