The SHD (for Streaming High Definition) of MiniDSP is a network player with digital audio processor (DSP) SHARC ADSP21489 and integrated acoustic correction solution Dirac Live. It allows you to stream audio files very simply while offering the possibility to correct the stereo audio signal according to the room in which your audio system is integrated. The DSP allows you to act on a 10-band parameter equalizer, on crossover values up to 48dB/octave, on a compressor / limiter or a 2x4 mixing matrix for precise and fully customizable settings.

To perform digital / analog and analog / digital conversions, the SHD includes a DAC AKM AK4490EQ chip and an AKM AK5574 ADC, offering excellent performance and greatly contributing to the transparency of sound reproduction.

Connectivity

The SHD offers a particularly complete connection system with USB-B and USB-A Host, RJ45 port, Toslink and Coaxial Optics as well as AES/EBU on the digital side. As an input always but this time on the analog side, there are balanced XLR and unbalanced stereo RCA. For its outputs, the SHD has two S/PDIF Coaxial connectors, 4 XLR Balanced and 4 RCA Unbalanced Stereo. This allows you to connect the vast majority of devices in your Hi-Fi audio system.

Streamer

The network playback circuit is based on an ARM Quad Core processor, ensuring smooth transmission for a fully transparent music experience. The SHD is delivered with the pre-installed Volumio operating system. The latter is both intuitive and powerful, offering you the possibility to enjoy your audio files stored locally on a USB key or on a device connected to your local network (computer, NAS, smartphone...). The solution is also compatible with many streaming services such as Qobuz or Spotify as well as Internet radios.
