PS AUDIO AIRLENS STREAMER NOW SHIPPING

PS Audio of Boulder, Colorado is now shipping its AirLens music streamer which offers high-resolution streaming via Roon and services such as TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, JRiver, and Audirvana, as well as from a NAS storage device or any DLNA-compatible server.

GALVANIC ISOLATION

The PS Audio AirLens connects to a network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi and provides I2S and coaxial digital outputs to connect to a DAC. Typically, noise from any number of sources including a computer, long runs of Ethernet cable, EMI interference via Wi-Fi, and modems and routers all contribute to increased jitter and a loss of fidelity. PS Audio’s galvanic isolation has been designed to remove this sonic degradation by eliminating the electrical connection between the input and output stages, using only air as the interface. In addition, the signal is re-clocked at the output stage for jitter-free, pure digital audio.

“The secret of the AirLens’ exceptional sound quality is its galvanic isolation. Removing the physical connection between input and output stages eliminates the unwanted noise that can be introduced by USB, Ethernet or Wi-Fi. The AirLens also perfectly re-clocks the digital signal. The result is a remarkable improvement in resolution, timbral realism, and dynamics.” Paul McGowan, PS Audio CEO

Available in silver and black, the AirLens offers PCM decoding up to 352.8 kHz, and DSD to 256 (4x). Its compact size (10 by 7 by 1.5 inches) and sleek design make it easy to integrate into any audio system.
