iEAST OLIO Streaming Audio Receiver Works with Airplay 2 Siri Amazon Alexa Dual WiFi 2.4G 5G and Bluetooth Mode Spotify Tidal Connect Directly Hi-Res Audio Muitizone Multiroom Supporting

EDIT: After a few weeks the oliostream developed a fault, the sound started to suffer from momentary dropouts. At first it was a rare occurrence which I thought might be a glitch on my network, then over the next few days it became increasingly more frequent, I was having no trouble with my other devices and the oliostream always reported "network 100%". I tried all the troubleshooting I could think of, such as not inserting the mini toslink all the way (which solves a similar problem with my Chromecast Audio streamer), moving it away from other electronic devices, etc. I returned it for a refund.I may buy another one of these in the future, I enjoyed using it and I have no reason to think they all have this problem.Original review: This isn't perfect, but in some ways it outperforms more expensive steamers I have used, so I think it deserves five stars.It was very easy to set up. The app is good, much better than Yamaha's. Connection to wi-fi is very stable, better than a Bluesound Node.Bluetooth is the standard type only, no aptx etc.I have only used the oliostream's optical digital output, so I can't comment on the analogue sound quality. Using the same DAC, my Primare NP5 sounds noticeably clearer, but the Primare is much more expensive. I find the sound quality of the oliostream to be good, acceptable for my intended usage, but I would not use it with my fancy hi-fi system in the living room.24 bit 192 kHz resolution is claimed, but I had the sound stuttering on anything higher than 96 kHz. Maybe the analogue output can handle 192 kHz, but I have achieved 192 kHz with the same DAC and cable using other streamers.In the Q&As above the seller says that Amazon Music is gapless, but there are audible 'splices' where there should be smooth transitions. The steamer was gapless with network shared files, and with Qobuz and Tidal, when selected within the IEAST app, I did not try any of the other compatible streaming services. Qobuz and Tidal are CD resolution only in the IEAST app, you can get high resolution Qobuz playing on the oliostream with the BubbleUPnP and mconnect player apps, but not gaplessly.

It was neat and compact.However does not support MQA. AND SHOULD REALLY BE MENTIONED IN THE DESCRIPTION

Unbelievable quality for the money, just buy it!

What a find, This is a great little WiFi player,Connected fast it can use 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi,The phone app is easy to use, it offers Gapless playback & supports Alexa. This is my third WiFi player & it is the best by a mile.

great sound connected it to a DAC and then into an old audio innovations valve amp with good resultsfor the price you can't go wrong

I wanted to get Airplay 2 into an existing old hifi amp. I had been using a Bluetooth dongle but an Airplay 2 equipped amp in another room convinced me to upgrade to one here.I had considered a second hand Apple Airport and this is about the same price but new, with warranty and much much smaller.I turned it on, started the app on my phone and followed instructions. It saw it almost immediately, asked me my wifi password, updated its firmware, offered me to rename it (I called it Lounge HiFi) and that’s it. In and running.Airplay sees it. Amazon Alexa sees it as an Echo device so that’s two ways of controlling it…. And Five mins after opening the box, I’m playing music through the HiFi.Quality? Very very good. It can handle 96KHz 24 bit so I played tracks in formats that handle this and no discernible difference to analogue through my record deck. I can’t say fairer than that.Cons? None to speak of although it’s only been running two days as I type so fingers crossed.
