Description
iEAST ePlay 2 Pro is a full-size network audio streamer and system hub for amplifiers, active speakers and custom-install audio.
It combines an ESS9018 DAC with analog and optical inputs, analog and optical outputs, active-subwoofer output and 12V trigger control.
Why it stands out

Two analog input paths plus optical input allow TV and legacy audio sources to join the streaming system.
Flexible System Outputs
RCA analog, optical digital and dedicated active-subwoofer outputs support multiple system architectures.
Professional Control Connections
RS232, IR input, Ethernet and 12V trigger output suit rack-based and automated installations.
High-Resolution Network Playback
ESS9018 conversion and optical PCM output up to 24-bit/192kHz support capable HiFi systems.
Best for
- Custom-installed stereo systems
- Active speakers with an active subwoofer
- Existing amplifiers needing modern streaming
- Rack-mounted multi-room audio
Not ideal for
- Users needing speaker power amplification
- Portable or battery-powered systems
- Minimal systems that need only one analog output
EMiUZEK Buying Notes
- ePlay 2 Pro is a streamer/DAC, not a power amplifier.
- The subwoofer output is for an active subwoofer; the 12V trigger carries control voltage, not audio.
- Use optical output to bypass its internal DAC, or RCA output to use the ESS9018 conversion stage.

Sophie Wilson As someone who’s had trouble getting old amplifiers to work with modern tech, this was a game-changer. The multi-room tech is stable, no dropouts even when I’m moving around the house, and the high-res decoding makes my vinyl rips sound even better than I remember.
