Extremely easy to use, it is designed to upgrade your existing HiFi system, turning it into a true beat-perfect and multi-room streamer. It is equipped with the best modern technologies that allow you to remotely access music stored on a NAS, computer or even a smartphone.
The new version of Stream adds support for AirPlay 2 for easy streaming from Apple devices, as well as Tidal Connect for controlling playback directly from the Tidal app. When setting up the device, an LED status indicator also appears for easier use.
Setting up and using Octavio Stream is extremely fast and easy. Simply connect the network player to your HiFi system and connect it to your WiFi network to access all your music content. Control is carried out directly from your smartphone thanks to the Octavio application.
Bit-perfect is a term commonly used in audio to describe a player that can play a file without any modifications.
For example, if the Octavio Stream player is playing a Hi-Res 24bit 192kHz file on Qobuz, then the digital output will offer 24bit 192kHz. Likewise, if the music file being played has a sample rate of 16-bit 44.1 kHz, the digital output will offer that same sample rate without any changes. In short, the real ratio is 1:1 (input/output).
This is what we call a true beat perfect reading, closest to the musical reality of the piece being played.
Octavio Stream implements WiFi Lossless data transmission technology. It provides high quality wireless audio playback. Moreover, when transmitted over WiFi, no compression is applied to the original audio signal, maintaining the integrity of the streamed file.
With Octavio Stream, music can be shared with family and friends. Each family member can download the Octavio app and control the music being played, as well as browse the streaming services on offer.
Setting up a multi-room system with Octavio is very simple. You simply need to connect the Octavio Stream player to each of your home audio systems to integrate them into a multiroom ecosystem with central control via a mobile app. This way, you can play the same music in all rooms or different songs for each audio system.
Octavio Stream has its own dedicated control application, available free of charge in the Apple App Store or Google Play for Android. This app allows you to quickly and easily access your favorite streaming services, many web radio stations, and locally stored music through an ergonomic and intuitive interface.
The Octavio Stream’s WiFi capability is powered by the LinkPlay chip, a world-renowned player in the connected audio space. Thus, automatic or manual updates are regularly available to improve the user experience of Octavio Stream. The technology was designed to be scalable and adapt to the evolution of streaming.
Thanks to Octavio’s compatibility with Spotify Connect, you can use the Spotify app directly to start playback on connected speakers or players.
