Designed for Uncompromized Audio Performance
The Evolution Stream is the perfect choice for music enthusiasts, offering seamless access to your digital music library whenever you desire.
- Effortless Control & Seamless Performance – Install and run multiple applications effortlessly for an uninterrupted experience. Manage your music server with ease using the VitOS Manager mobile app.
- Precision Audio: Equipped with dual dedicated TCXOs (Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators), one for each Ethernet port, this system prevents clock signal interference, ensuring highly accurate timing. The 25MHz TCXO minimizes network latency and jitter, providing flawless audio playback.
- Interference-Free Listening: EMI noise-filtering technology effectively eliminates electrical interference, ensuring a pure listening experience.
- Optimized Storage: Equipped with a high-performance 250GB SSD optimized for VitOS and application storage, the all-flash drive delivers low latency and ample capacity. Performance is further enhanced by an EMI absorber and a dedicated power regulation circuit, isolating power noise for superior audio playback quality. We advise against expanding the internal storage, as using an off-the-shelf SSD may degrade performance. For users with large local music libraries, external storage is recommended.
