DSD64/128 playback with selectable decimation (176.4 kHz or 352.8 kHz). βΈ Samba / NAS Streaming β Browse and stream high-resolution audio straight from your NAS over Wi-Fi, with smart caching so only the album or ISO in use is held on the device. βΈ Memory Playback β Preload entire tracks into a dedicated 300 MB memory buffer β enough to hold a full CD-length album or a high-rate DSD track.
