Network Players – High-Resolution Network Audio for Modern Hi-Fi Systems
Network players are designed for users who want the highest audio fidelity and maximum flexibility when playing music from local storage, NAS servers, or network libraries. This collection brings together advanced digital players capable of handling Hi-Res formats, multi-room audio, and audiophile-grade decoding. If you value clarity, dynamic range, and precise digital-to-analog conversion, a network player is an essential part of your home audio system.
What Is a Network Player?
A network player connects to your home network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi and streams music directly from:
-
NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices
-
Shared folders on your home network
-
Media servers using DLNA / UPnP
-
Roon-Ready or Roon-Bridge systems
-
Local USB storage, depending on the model
Unlike Bluetooth or basic streaming devices, network players are built for high-resolution audio, low distortion, and accurate signal processing. They support advanced formats such as FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, and sometimes DSD and DXD, depending on the model.
