The growing range of HiRes music services makes streaming an audiophile must-have. Wireless Audio Streaming Players allow you to play wireless HiRes music from both music streaming services and NAS drives using your existing stereo system. It's wifi for your hifi.

REFINED FUTURE LISTENING

From treasured playlists on Tidal or Qobuz to carefully archived DSD libraries, Platina Stream treats every source with equal reverence. Its flagship DAC architecture and ultra-stable platform deliver bit-perfect playback. Combined with its full-colour display and impeccable build quality, Platina marries Quad’s analogue heritage with reference modern listening.

ROCK SOLID STREAMING

Enjoy higher-fidelity streaming without changing the way you listen thanks to Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, Spotify Connect, AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, Plex, and UPnP servers with USB HDD support. It’s bit-perfect playback with the familiarity of your favourite streaming platforms.

PALM-SIZED MUSIC POWER

Build playlists, organise music folders, and search performers, labels, or even genres across local and cloud-based drives and streaming services with QUAD Platina streaming app (built atop the renowned LUMIN MUSIC Streaming service). And with native highlighting of Qobuz Studio/Sublime+ and Tidal Masters, you’ll know you’re hearing true HiRes at a glance.

FLAGSHIP DAC ARCHITECTURE

At its core, ESS Sabre’s ES9038PRO DAC with dual master clocks unlocks lifelike dynamics and vanishing jitter. Supporting PCM to 768kHz and native DSD512, Platina Stream delivers uncompromising fidelity across every format, from lossless streaming to locally stored high-resolution libraries.

CRAFTED FOR PERFORMANCE

A steel-lined, resonance controlled chassis, CNC-routed heatsinks, machined controls, gold-plated connectors, and anti-resonance feet embody Quad’s highly-refined design obsession. Every detail—whether visual, tactile, or structural—serves long-term reliability and sonic purity, ensuring that Platina Stream is nothing short of stunning.

FINELY TUNED FIDELITY

Platina Stream breathes new life into flat music, upsampling PCM files to 352.8/384kHz for smoother, more detailed playback. And with five selectable filters you get creative control over tone and texture, so even your oldest recordings sound their absolute best.

FULL COLOUR FIDELITY

A 4.3-inch full-colour IPS screen showcases album-art, data-rich playback details, and analogue-style VU meters—plus full menu navigation and multi-language support. Completely dimmable for late-night listening sessions, this elegant design touch makes Platina stream an intuitive centrepiece within any reference system.
