Italian brand Volumio has been making waves with its compact streaming products that offer ample features in designs don\u2019t look like traditional hi-fi.<\/p>\n

The Primo V3 is the latest iteration of its music streamer and DAC, and it packs quite a number of features into its petite dimensions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Volumio\u2019s network streaming platform gives you access to Spotify<\/a>, Tidal<\/a> and Qobuz<\/a> Connect, and internet radio services like TuneIn. It is DLNA compliant and Roon Ready certified, and Bluetooth 5.0 is also available.<\/p>\n

There is a video-only HDMI output, a microSD card slot to integrate your digital library directly without needing a network connection, and there are two USB-A ports for connecting hard drives. Notably, there are no coaxial or optical connections.<\/p>\n

You can use either USB-A port as a digital output connected to a compatible USB DAC, via which it can handle ultra high resolutions files: PCM files with a high sampling rate of 1536kHz, and DSD1024.<\/p>\n

Volumio says this allows you to \u201cpreserve the full fidelity of your music system\u201d and \u201cretain the full resolution of the original recording\u201d. Those files must be rarer than hen’s teeth, as we have rarely come across downloadable hi-res tracks beyond 24-bit\/192kHz \u2013 which the Volumio natively supports.<\/p>\n

The Primo V3\u2019s quad<\/a> core CPU is faster and more powerful than before, while care is taken internally to shorten the signal paths of the circuitry and it uses a linear power supply stage to reduce noise and interference. Combined with a high-precision clock, this helps to reduce jitter and keep the signal as clear as possible.<\/p>\n

You can further fine tune the sound of the streamer thanks to eight DAC filters.<\/p>\n
