Reference Streamer/Music rendering engine
Absolute Stream
Important Notice
Τhe Absolute Stream, above all is a highly sophisticated renderer which you can use with any music
player program (client) that supports UPNP (most of the well-known commercial of freeware do
that), such as Roon, JRiver, Audiorvana, Foobar, and similar. The rendering of music is done with the
highest standards of our designs and we make sure it is happening in the server, so no loss of sound
quality is possible!
Important Notice
Your music files need to contain the right metadata. There is a minimum of data that must be in
the file so the system can recognize, find, , display, and provide information relating to any file –
at the very least, a proper title, artist and album name. The more metadata you have the better,
but if your tracks lack the minimum required data in order to be read, then these files won’t be
searchable and won’t appear in any search or indexing process. They will be in your database, but
the system will not be able to retrieve them!
Additionally, we provide a music player program along with the device, providing all the
functionality of such a program. You can experiment with this music player program or,
alternatively, use the one that you prefer and around which you have built your music library.
