Bringing Smart Tech into High End Audio Systems

Written by Luke O'Brien Friday, April 12, 2024 Posted in General

In the world of high-end audio, the idea of mixing in 'smart' features seems almost contradictory—your customers just spent a fortune to experience the highest quality music and audio reproduction on their Hi-Fi audio system, just to stream a low-quality file over that expensive new system? 

You'll often find that most higher-end receivers have limited to no connectivity or smart features built-in, and it can be frustrating to have a fully furnished audio setup and be limited by physical inputs. 

There are, however, some clever solutions to building out your customer's Hi-Fi audio system—whether it is vintage or a high-end enthusiast setup lacking any networking.

 

iEast Olio

The small but powerful iEast Olio

Enter the iEast Olio: an extraordinarily small, yet versatile Hi-Fi audio receiver that can be directly plugged into a 3.5mm analog jack. The Olio can support higher-end codecs and lossless file formats like APE, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, AAC, and more, allowing your customers to experience crisp, full audio over a wireless connection. You can even use it on multi-room setups by including up to 32 individual receivers. 

iEast M5

The might iEast M5

To provide more central control over your customer's wireless Hi-Fi system, iEast also offers the M5, a dedicated WiFi streamer with analog output that allows users to connect speakers individually across their existing LAN.

 

Juke Audio

But what if you're just in the market? If you're looking to create your own high-end audio system for your customers but would prefer that smart features come built directly into the system without typing up inputs, the JUKE and JUKE+ Whole Home Audio Amplifiers are a powerful, high-quality, high-fidelity option. The Juke amplifier line boasts the same high-resolution audio output as traditional high-end amplifiers, but with the networked and streaming audio your customers have come to expect from their smart home experience. 

Juke+ at Aartech Canada- Smart whole home audio made simple

With the Juke+ supporting 32-bit audio resolution, six stereo zones and 12 channels with 100W per channel, the Juke+ is able to power large, multi-room setups without sacrificing power or clarity; all while allowing users to seamlessly stream from their favourite music platforms like Spotify, connect into their network with Apple Airplay, or simply stream their favourite audio from their library across your wireless network.
