The NuPrime Stream-9 is a reference-class multi-room streaming station designed as a network transport rather than a full DAC. It supports Wi‑Fi streaming up to 24-bit/192kHz, Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD, DLNA, AirPlay, and AirPlay 2, and it provides multiple digital outputs for connection to an external DAC. NuPrime also includes a selectable sampling-rate converter that can upsample streaming and digital-input content up to PCM 24-bit/768kHz or DSD256 for ultra-low jitter and distortion.
