Does the world really need one more streamer? Maybe not, but the Stream Box S2 Ultra offers much more. It is actually a powerful network bridge that routes music from many different sources. Just plug in the da converter, and the Stream Box S2 Ultra plays music from the hard drive via the usb-a interface, with bluetooth aptx, from network streaming services such as Tidal, Spotify, Shoutcast, or from dlna or wifi connected nas drives. The device is Roon Ready, and an hdmi output is also included. A handy controller app is also available for Android and iOS devices, and a more advanced user can even customize the system to their own needs. The resolution is enough up to 352.8 kilohertz and 32 bits as well as dsd256, so the device is a sure choice in the future as well.
