NanoSound Player 2 Kit - Hi-Fi Music Streamer
New Raspberry Pi 4 and Amp10 option available now!
The NanoSound Player is fully customizable and ready-to-play Network Music Player which can play any files including MP3, FLAC, WAV, AAC, FLAC, DSD, Audio CD and many more. It has an onboard Hi-Fi DAC (Digital Analog Converter) designed for Audiophiles and also supports a large number of music services including Youtube, Spotify and Web Radio.
It will only take minutes to assemble this kit and turn it into a Network Audio Player - No soldering required.
SPECIFICATION
General
Comparison of Pi models:
Audio DAC - NanoSound DAC2s
- Texas Instruments PCM5122 - 192kHz Sampling Rate / 24bit Resolution Burr-Brown DAC for best sound quality
- 2 x ultra precise master clock for lower gitter and better DSD performance
- Improved and wider sound signal paths
- Texas Instruments TPS7A4700 Ultra Low Noise Voltage Regulator
- Switchable Power Option with auto-switching
- Power from a single USB-C port or independently
- Infrared Receiver and Remote Control
- Raspberry Pi Power switch - Turn on and gracefully shut down Raspberry Pi System
- 4 GPIO buttons and 1 Digital Rotary Knob for Media Control
- Hi-Fi Audio Grade electronics components. Capacitors from EVOX RIFA, WIMA and ELNA
- Full open source and available from github allows anyone to take control of the software
- Full Copper RCA Connector for maximum conductance
- *NEW* for NanoSound DAC 2s
- 2 Oz Copper PCB Manufacturing for better heat discipation and lower resistance
- Upgraded Nichicon FW Audio Grade Electrolytic Capacitors
Amp - NanoSound Amp^2 (Optional)
- 5W Speaker + Headphone Amplifier
- Switch On/Off via onboard bottons on the NanoSound DAC
- Powered by single USB-C or individually
- 4 layered PCB designed to eliminate internal interference from Pi
Headphone Amp
- Input Voltage: 5V
- Output Power: 24mW @20Ω, 22mw @32Ω
- Signal-To-Noise Ratio (SNR): 100db @20mW
- Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise (THD+N): 0.01% @25mW
Speaker Amp
- Input Voltage: 5V
- Output Power: 5W @2Ω, 3W @4Ω
- Efficiency: 90% @8Ω , 85% @4Ω, 80% @2Ω
- Signal-To-Noise Ratio (SNR): 90db
- Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise (THD+N): 0.15%
Amp - NanoSound Amp10 (Optional)
The mission of Amp10 is simple: build the best sounding music system with a small footprint
Clean power supply is the key to great sound. The NanoSound system has all the benefits of component Hi-Fi in a small footprint by having the DAC and Amp10 are independently regulated with two ultra low drop out linear regulators
- Works with both NanoSound DAC (1st Gen) and NanoSound DAC 2 / 2s (2nd Gen)
- Fits into NanoSound 3D Printed Case
- Onboard Ultra Low Drop Out Linear Regulator - This provides the cleanest power going into the amplifier.
- Powerful 10W x 2 amplifier which is capable of driving large bookshelf speakers (we used 5inch woofer in our demo system with great results)
- 2oz cooper PCB for better thermal performance and signal paths
- Audiophile quality components from world acclaimed Yamaha, Nichicon and WIMA
The kit includes:
- Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
- 5V 2.5A Power Supply for Raspberry Pi (UK, Europe or United States Plug )
- NanoSound DAC 2 Standard with 1.3" OLED Display or Pro with 1.5" OLED Colour Display
- Infrared Remote Control
- Sandisk Ultra 16/64/200 GB microSDHC with volumio and nanosound plugin preinstalled
- Why bigger storage is needed? Because you can use it like a NAS
Optionally you can add:
- NanoSound Amp^2 Speaker & Headphone Amplifier
- Use this to power your speakers and large headphones directly
- NanoSound Amp10 - 10W x 2 Digital Amp
- Our top of the range amplifier board
- NanoSound CD Full version
- Upsampling CD Playback / Extraction plug-in
- External USB CD/DVD drive. We recommend these:
- NanoSound 3 Speaker - Full Range Speaker with Dual driver and 3 inch Woofer. Perfect companion for Amp^2
- NanoSound 3D Printed Case. Both versions will fit amp^2 and Amp10. The tall version will also fit heat sink for Pi.
