This means that most devices such as your smart TV, games console etc to your turntable and delivers accurate sound from its built-in power amp. With Space Optimisation included, value is off the scale. The Sneaky DSM is kind of a dual purpose device: it acts as a mini, two channel amplifier with video switching capabilities, so you can use it with a Blu-ray player or digital TV receiver (or both; there are three HDMI inputs). HDMI is the only video that is handled, and this is just passed straight through with no processing, aside from the audio being extracted for amplification of course. In addition to HDMI audio, though, you can plug in a single analogue device or provide digital audio in the form of either optical or coaxial. But it’s the other function, the network part, that this unit is primarily about. Essentially you can stream music to it from various devices – it is both AirPlay and DLNA compatible – and also use it to grab internet radio stations. Aside from the hard-wired power switch on the left side, there are no controls on the unit proper, indeed not any display either. There’s just a single LED that has three states: bright, dull or flashing (the latter only while the system is booting up when switched on). Instead you control it using a computer or portable device that feeds music to it, in conjunction with the supplied remote control. Your network connection must be wired. Despite the not inconsiderable cost of this unit, it does not support WiFi. The unit is stereo only, too, and has two speaker outputs. It is rated at 33W per channel. If you find that too limiting it also offers a pair of analogue line outputs, which are volume controlled by the unit, so you can use whatever power amplifiers or active speakers you prefer. Streams any digital source over a standard network Supports virtually any digital format up to 24-bit 192 kHz Integrates seamlessly with Tidal & Qobuz lossless streaming 6 digital & analogue inputs to connect your other sources Integrated 33 W per channel power amp Neutrik speaker connections Space Optimisation built-in Pictures:
