A Complete Streaming Solution.
Fusing the NEO iDSD 2’s award-winning DAC with our latest network streaming technology, the NEO Stream 3 is the ultra-res digital audio hub for enthusiasts.
Just Add Speakers.
A truly complete solution for adding modern streaming options to your home setup, the NEO Stream takes the award-winning DAC stage from the NEO iDSD 2 and incorporates 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 centrepiece of an enthusiast's setup - their ultra-resolution digital audio hub. Just add your favourite active speakers and let the music take centre stage.
A Next-Gen Connection.
The NEO Stream 3 is built upon the latest generation of our ultra-resolution streaming engine, with native support for up to 768kHz PCM and DSD512 audio. In addition to returning favourites like Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, Roon, AirPlay and more, the NEO Stream 3 also supports Qobuz Connect, enabling bit-perfect playback straight from the Qobuz app. For listeners with an existing digital music library, NAS and USB HDD support ensures all your favourites are within reach, while DLNA support unlocks broad compatibility with a wide range of players and audio controllers.
Setup, Simplified.
With the NEO Stream 3, getting connected has never been easier.
An all new IoT chip enables seamless pairing between the NEO Stream 3 and your home WiFi using the iFi Nexis app.
Once you’re connected, Nexis directly integrates our streaming engine’s user interface to transform your smartphone into a powerful remote control. No more web browsers or IP addresses; just simple, direct access, in the palm of your hand.
Built to Sound Better.
The NEO Stream 3 delivers best-in-class sound through intelligent, uncompromising hardware design and signal optimisation:
- Upgraded polymer and ELNA Silmic II caps for cleaner power and smoother treble response.
- USB and S/PDIF outputs use a femto-precision clock combined Active Noise Cancellation and iPurification tech respectively, for ultra-low distortion performance.
- Included OptiBox adds optical galvanic isolation to eliminate wired network noise
- User-selectable Exclusive Modes shut down unnecessary OS processes to minimise software noise and jitter
Studio-Grade Restoration for any Setup.
The NEO Stream is the latest in iFi’s lineup to incorporate JVCKENWOOD’s K2HD Technology, which takes the often cold, clinical character of many modern recordings, then restores harmonic content lost in post-production or encoding, while also up sampling any audio track below 192kHz.
The result is renewed depth, nuance and musicality – a truer representation of the original master, and of the artists’ and engineers’ intent.
Previously available exclusively to select iFi audio DACs, any DAC connected to a NEO Stream can now enjoy the incredible benefits of K2HD technology.

Nexis also gives you direct access to advanced streamer settings, connected storage devices, and seamless over-the-air updates, all from one place.
