Streamer ES9038Pro WiFi DLNA AirPlay Roon Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD LDAC 32bit 768kHz DSD512 MQA
Zidoo presents with its NEO Alpha a streamer as powerful as intuitive and design. It will allow you to broadcast your music with ease while enjoying excellent sound quality, all controlled through a high quality OLED screen and an ergonomic interface or from a dedicated mobile application.
The audio decoding of the NEO Alpha is entrusted to an ESS ES9038Pro DAC, a high-performance model widely recognized by audiophiles. It also supports high-resolution audio streams up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD512, as well as MQA file decoding.
The 5" high-definition OLED touchscreen is perfectly integrated into the NEO Alpha's aluminum chassis, making the Zidoo NEO Alpha convenient and ergonomic to use. The user experience is as intuitive as possible. Thus, it is possible to access very easily to all the options and information of the player thanks to this beautiful interface.
The NEO Alpha is equipped with a 512GB SSD allowing you to store your music locally and access it extremely quickly. In addition, using an SSD instead of a hard drive reduces the temperature and vibration of the device.
The NEO Alpha features a dual power supply, independently powering the analog and digital circuits to eliminate interference and therefore improve sonic purity.
Particularly versatile, the NEO Alpha covers a very large majority of integration needs thanks to its complete connectivity. We can find coaxial, AES/EBU, optical and USB inputs. A connectivity completed by a wireless connectivity with Bluetooth and WiFi to control the player from a distance and access its music from its network.

In addition to its XLR and RCA pre-outputs, the NEO Alpha has a single-ended 6.35mm jack headphone output. Taking advantage of two gain settings, the NEO Alpha will have no trouble accompanying most headphones on the market.
The NEO Alpha is equipped with a USB XMOS X216 interface ensuring a perfect reception and decoding of the USB audio stream. It supports audio streams up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD up to DSD512. The NEO Alpha's circuitry also uses two Accusilicon AS318 high-precision clock oscillators to effectively eliminate jitter and ensure accurate and transparent audio reproduction.
The NEO Alpha incorporates an MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) decoder, which allows you to play this type of file and enjoy sound quality as close as possible to the original studio recording. Moreover, MQA streams are light enough to be streamed.
The Zidoo NEO Alpha's Bluetooth 5.0 reception uses a Qualcomm QCC5125 chip, which supports the high-definition transmission codecs aptX, aptX LL, aptX HD and LDAC, allowing you to enjoy high-quality sound reproduction over Bluetooth.
The NEO Alpha uses an RTD1619DR hexa-core 64-bit A55 processor and 4GB of DDR4 RAM. In addition to giving it excellent performance, these allow for 4K 60Hz video streaming. It even supports HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision technologies (and its VS10 engine) for an ever more vivid and crisp image. The Qobuz and Tidal streaming services can be accessed directly from the application.
The Zidoo NEO Alpha can be controlled from a smartphone or tablet with the free Zidoo Controller mobile app. This will give you easy access to your music while enjoying a remote interface for easy use from your sofa. The Qobuz and Tidal streaming services can be accessed directly from the application.
