Just Add Speakers.iFi has taken the advanced DAC circuitry of their NEO iDSD 2 and incorporated the latest generation of our network streaming engine. With built-in native support for Spotify Tidal Qobuz and more the NEO Stream 3 is the centerpiece of an enthusiasts setup - their ultra-resolution digital audio hub. Just add your favorite speakers and let it take center stage.

Studio-Grade Restoration. For Any Setup.Digital masters often miss the warmth and richness of their analogue roots leaving you with sound thats cold and lifeless. JVCKENWOODs K2HD Technology restores the depth nuance and musicality of the original performance. Once exclusive to select iFi DACs the NEO Stream 3 can now breathe life into any DAC amp or home setup.

Built to Sound Better.The NEO Stream 3 delivers best-in-class sound through intelligent hardware design and signal optimization:


•Upgraded polymer and ELNA Silmic II caps for cleaner power and smoother treble.
•USB and S/PDIF outputs use a femto-precision clock combined with ANC and iPurifier tech for precise low distortion performance.
•Included OptiBox adds optical galvanic isolation to effectively eliminate network noise.
•User-selectable Exclusive Modes shut down unnecessary OS processes to minimise software jitter ensuring purist playback.

DSD Purists Delight.Inspired by the NEO iDSD 2 the NEO Stream 3 uses a custom DAC stage built around a Burr-Brown chipset hand-picked by us for its natural musicality. Its unique architecture processes PCM and DSD via separate pathways preserving a bit-perfect signal all the way through to analogue conversion.

Setup Simplified.Getting connected has never been easier. An all-new IoT chip enables seamless pairing between the NEO Stream 3 and your home Wi-Fi using the iFi Nexis app. Once connected Nexis transforms your smartphone into a powerful remote control.

Cue Up Qobuz.A new streaming engine brings expanded native support. The NEO Stream 3 now supports Qobuz Connect enabling true bit-perfect playback straight from the Qobuz app.
