Story

PecanPi® Streamer

The PecanPi Streamer is a Hi-Fi, high-resolution music streamer with built-in DAC and headphone amplifier. Control music wirelessly using your phone, tablet, or computer. 

Studio-quality sound can be enjoyed in a home environment. Enjoy pure music without any coloration from the electronics. Hear the music exactly the way it was heard in the studio, and exactly the way the artists intended.

The Streamer's high precision and high resolution give you the best sound experience for any audio playback. Even normal compressed (mp3) music files will sound much better.

It can be connected to any existing stereo amplifier, AV receiver, or powered audio system, as well as headphones.
