CX Power

Experience elevated audio performance with the CX Regulator, developed in partnership with renowned engineer Dr. Sean Jacobs. This advanced regulator delivers independent, ultra-low-noise power directly to the Output Module stage, resulting in a cleaner, more dynamic, and highly detailed sound.

The system comes equipped with a medical-grade filtered SMPS for reliable operation, while users seeking even greater performance can opt for the dedicated LPS1 linear power supply upgrade.

Storage

Enhance your system with M.2 NVMe SSD storage to unlock the full potential of STREAM1 as a dedicated music server. By adding internal storage, users can create a centralized digital library with expanded library management features available through the Innuos Sense app.

Choose between 2TB or 4TB of factory-installed storage, or install your own drive to customize the setup to your exact needs.

LPS1

Unlock the full sonic potential of the STREAM1 with the LPS1 linear power supply (sold separately)—its ideal performance companion. Featuring a 150VA toroidal transformer and high-end Mundorf capacitors, the LPS1 delivers cleaner, more stable power for noticeably improved clarity, dynamics, and detail.

A second Nichicon-regulated DC output is included, offering the flexibility to power additional components like external DACs or network switches for a more refined and streamlined system.

Compact Design

Compact in size but full of capability, the STREAM1 delivers all the features expected from a high-performance music server and streamer—without taking up much space. Its half-width chassis is paired with a robust 10mm CNC-machined aluminum front panel, offering both durability and sleek aesthetics.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with the LPS1, the unified design language allows for a clean, cohesive look whether stacked or placed side-by-side. Despite its small footprint, STREAM1 provides full access to the powerful Innuos Sense app, making it a true heavyweight in functionality.

Powerful Performance

The STREAM1 is powered by the latest Stream series mainboard, featuring a 13th Gen Intel Quad-Core processor and 8GB of industrial-grade DDR5 RAM. This upgraded platform delivers over twice the processing speed of its predecessor, ensuring a fast, efficient, and highly responsive user experience.

Designed for low-latency performance, the operating system runs on a dedicated TLC SSD with power-loss protection, incorporating Real-Time Kernel technology inherited from the flagship ZEN Next-Gen series. The result is smoother operation and enhanced sonic precision, bringing out the full potential of your digital music.

Connectivity

The STREAM1 embraces modern connectivity standards with a USB-C port, enabling seamless connection to the latest high-speed USB drives, DACs, or even charging compatible smart devices.

For those who want to build or expand their digital library, the STREAM1 supports CD ripping via any user-added USB optical drive, utilizing an intuitive, custom ripping engine for quick and effortless transfers.

Network performance is boosted by dual 2.5Gb Ethernet ports—one dedicated to high-speed streaming and the other offering a bridged ‘Streamer’ output, allowing additional network devices to connect easily within the system.

Optional Output Modules

The STREAM1 offers a selection of optional output modules, enabling users to tailor the device to their specific system needs and achieve optimal audio performance from their chosen connection type. This modular approach also provides the flexibility to swap modules later, adapting seamlessly to evolving setups—whether connecting to a DAC, amplifier, active speakers, or other components.
