1 Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Barix Exstreamer Gold from Barix AG.
What exactly is the Barix Exstreamer? It is an audio network interface for your home
stereo system that streams MP3s from your PC and radio stations from the internet.
Even though possible, the Barix Exstreamer is not meant to be plugged directly into your
computer but rather into your network.
The Barix Exstreamer brings MP3 to a whole new level using sophisticated technology
which we kept as affordable as possible for you.
We designed this device so that you are not limited to listen to your MP3s being stuck in
front of a computer or having to listen to high quality music through low quality
computer speakers. The Barix Exstreamer let you enjoy your music in any room of your
home.
To make this manual easier to understand we have included a dictionary at the end of the
manual that links to each technical word (example:
DHCP ).
