S100

About the S100

The S100 streamer was engineered with a single purpose: to be transparent to the music. To achieve this, Ypsilon developed the streaming solution from the ground up, in hardware and software.

Its direct-memory architecture loads the audio data into memory, which is then clocked out by high-accuracy femto clocks, one for each family of sample rates, directly to the audio outputs. This decouples the computer from audio playback: the digital audio signal is driven by the clocks rather than merely timed by them, for timing accuracy, jitter and noise beyond off-the-shelf solutions.

The custom hardware runs an operating system and driver software written for the S100. Everything is powered by discrete, all-linear regulators, fed by a transformer wound in-house and a choke filter. A companion app for iOS and Android lets you choose your preferred playback software and control the device.
