ROKSAN'S STREAMING AMP takes the same platform as the basic one, but adds on-board streaming and is equipped with the same BluOS interface found on NAD and Bluesound devices. Like other BluOS devices, sample rate handling is limited to 24-bit/192kHz with no DSD support - but there is MQA compatibility for both the streaming module and digital inputs. The amp is a Class AB design that delivers 80W into 8ohm, rising to 130W into 4ohm. There are two RCA line inputs, a moving-magnet phono stage plus two optical and two coaxial inputs. AirPlay and Bluetooth complete the feature set.
