Quad Platina Stream
Overview
Representing QUAD’s foray into the high-end wireless music streaming domain, the PLATINA STREAM combines an authoritative hi-fi design philosophy with an ultra-stable, extremely versatile streaming platform. Whether hard-wired via Gigabit Ethernet or connected over dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz), the PLATINA STREAM ensures fast, reliable network performance for uninterrupted, bit-perfect playback. At the core of its intelligent streaming platform lies the intuitive QUAD PLATINA app, offering seamless access to leading music services including Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, and TuneIn Radio, with high-resolution album artwork visualisation.
The App
Controlled by a dedicated QUAD PLATINA app, it has been purpose-built to match its functionality's pedigree, transforming any iOS or Android device into an elegant command centre for both local and cloud-based libraries. Refined typography, logical hierarchy, and fluid gesture control ensure the experience feels as considered as the hardware itself.
A lightning-fast indexer works in the background to catalogue network shares, USB drives, and streaming services as a single, unified library. Simply type a song title, performer, composer, label, year, or even a genre, and the app returns precise results in real time, ranked by relevance.
The Integration
For users who favour the interface of their preferred streaming service, PLATINA STREAM provides full compatibility with Qobuz Connect, Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, Airplay 2 and UPnP music server systems or digital audio files stored on USB HDD devices—delivering both flexibility and fidelity without compromise.
With the recent introduction of Spotify Lossless, PLATINA STREAM also supports playback at true CD-quality from within the native Spotify app, ensuring every detail of the recording is preserved.
The DAC
At its core lies the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO eight-channel DAC, driven by dual precision master clocks for vanishingly low jitter, class-leading linearity and support for PCM up to 768 kHz and native DSD512. A Quad Arm® Cortex-A53 multi-core processor running at 1.8 GHz per core provides the computational muscle for fast library handling, album-art caching and rock-solid playback control. This DAC matches the performance of the QUAD PLATINA INTEGRATED solution, for a seamless and precision-matched performance. However, by design the PLATINA STREAM offers wider functionality with its digital and analogue outputs – it will slot straight into any audio system by way of a pure digital or high fidelity analogue output option.
The Functions
The 4.3-inch, 800 × 480 pixel IPS screen offers full menu navigation, multi-language support and real-time playback information. Choose between artwork-centred, data-rich or VU-meter displays—or dim the screen entirely for late-night sessions. A sculpted system handset mirrors the PLATINA design language and unifies command of every component in the range, while the front-panel encoder and included remote control provide precise, menu-driven control for swift parameter adjustment.
