As a tribute to DENAFRIPS' 12 years of unparalleled digital audio expertise, the ARC-E streamer has been crafted to prioritize sound quality above all else. This remarkable device supports roon Bridge (roon Ready pending), HQPlayer NAA, Airplay, and DLNA, catering to audiophiles seeking diverse playback options.
ARC-E streamer's capabilities extend beyond its primary features. It offers seamless playback of local files through USB, SD card, and NAS, empowering users to enjoy their music library effortlessly.
Streamer Module
A unique Streamer Module - developed by DENAFRIPS engineer in-house - incorporating a Quad-Core ARM Cortex Processor, High Quality Crystal Oscillators, LT Fast Transient Response, Low Noise, and LDO Regulators.
Tailored Operating System (OS) optimised to deliver a euphoric sound experience.
Digital Signal Processing
The FPGA chip of this product is filled with DENAFRIPS' extensive experience in Digital Signal Processing. Furthermore, the digital signals are safeguarded through Galvanic Isolation using Opto-Couplers.
Anodised Aluminium Chassis
ARC-E offers a choice between two elegant colours, silver and black, both enclosed within a robust anodised aluminium chassis.
This sought-after option caters to the preferences of potential customers who desire a compact streamer with the added allure of a silver colour variant.
Silver Plated UP-OCC Copper AC Power Socket
In the ARC-E streamer, DENAFRIPS has made a deliberate and significant change by introducing a simplified AC main power socket. Contrary to being a cost-cutting measure, this modification reflects DENAFRIPS' commitment to high-quality power supply as the cornerstone of superior sound.
To achieve this goal, DENAFRIPS has gone the extra mile by customising the AC mains power socket in-house using UPOCC silver-plated copper. In the ARC-E, a non-switched AC mains socket, firmly believing that this step will bring the device even closer to attaining an exceptional level of perfection.
Ultra-Pure OCC Copper 60VA O-Core Transformer
Alongside the UPOCC gold-plated AC mains socket, the ARC-E boasts an enhancement in the form of a 60VA O-Core Shielded Transformer. This transformer is meticulously crafted in-house by DENAFRIPS engineers, utilizing UPOCC copper.
The oversized 60VA O-Core Shielded Transformer delivers substantial power to the multi-stage linear power supply of the ARCE Streamer. This improvement ensures that the ARC-E receives an abundant and stable power supply for optimal performance.
Specifications
- Proprietary Streamer Module developed by DENAFRIPS
- Tailored Operating System (OS) optimized for sound quality
- UPOCC O-Core Transformer, Low Noise LDO Power Supply
- TCXO Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators 45.1548MHz, 49.152Mhz
Limitation(s):
- The Android-exclusive app is currently under development and lacks the responsiveness and user-friendliness seen in popular streaming platforms on the market. Consequently, the playback experience for local files is basic and rudimentary.
- The DLNA streaming capability is presently restricted to 16-bit/44.1kHz. There are intentions to enhance this feature, but a specific date for this update has not been confirmed yet.
- As a result, we strongly suggest the Arc-e streamer for individuals using Roon.
