Regardless of how you stream or cast music to the CS1, you’ll love what you hear.

It supports resolution up to 24-bit/192kHz and has MQA pass-through support for both digital outputs, enabling full MQA decoding and rendering by a compatible external DAC for playing Master Quality Authenticated music.
You can connect the CS1 to your home network via Wi-Fi or hardwire its Ethernet port to your network router or an access point. The CS1 has a pair of RCA line-level analogue outputs for connection to a stereo receiver, integrated amp, preamplifier, or a pair of powered speakers. Alternatively, you can use the CS1’s optical or coaxial output to send digital audio at up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution to powered loudspeakers with digital inputs, or to a home-theatre receiver or external DAC.
