System Architecture

WR-2 versatility lies in its architectural design, where all inputs, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth data are routed to a streaming CPU module for processing. The digital data can be re-streamed to multi-room Wi-Fi receivers or a Bluetooth device or decoded for lineout or headphone out.

NuPrime proprietary EQ settings allow the users to customize their listening experience according to music preferences and audio equipment matching. Loudness 1,2 & 3 settings came from the R&D effort of the AMG series. Despite its name, Loudness settings create a presence of warmth and impact for the listener instead of louder sound.
Repeatedly pressing the Loudness button will cycle through the following EQ settings:
Flat, Loudness 1, Loudness 2, Loudness 3, Rock, Jazz, Pop, Classic

Loudness1

Loudness2

…Not only is the sound warm and detailed, as well as fresh and musical, but the plans and bands can be heard separately, and together – it is an art that at this price level is extremely rare…
…
NuPrime devices are famous for their sound, which significantly exceeds the expectations in the budget in which they are sold” – I borrow this sentence from the manufacturer, because I can sign with it with both hands. At the same time, how perfect the description fits the WR-1. Its sound is surprisingly dense, saturated, calm, legible, without sharpening, and it impresses with an ordered stage. It is this calmness, maturity, saturation and space that impressed me the most. Just listen to the disc of Michel Godard “Monteverdi. A Trace of Grace” (FLAC 24/192): the sound surrounds the speakers, the stage is wide, and the interior of a medieval monastery full of concentrated air. Or Etty Cameron and Nikolaja Hess with friends (“Etta” FLAC 24/96): the sounds “take up the whole band”, are embedded deeply, there is “glue” between them, although there is no lack of details. Or finally the award-winning Billie Eilish album “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” (FLAC, 24 / 44,1), where each vocal track is clearly heard, and the dynamics has an amazing “kick” … Marcin Gałuszka, Hi-Fi Class

Controlling Multiple Stream Mini DAC and Re-Streaming

Each WR-2 is independently controlled by the 4Stream and can be accessed from the Device List. You can assign different names to each receiver, choose what songs each of them is playing, or even group them to play the same music. To group devices, press and hold a device icon and drag towards another device or existing group.

Group’s Device Master and Re-Streaming

When multiple devices are grouped, the first device in the group act as the master for music source.
Re-streaming happens when the master device receives music from Bluetooth, analog or optical input and streams to all other receivers within the group.
