Ayon s5 Ref tube Media Network Streamer/Preamp/24-192 DAC/USB/WiFi/ENet/XLR RCA
Some Key design features:
- Dual electrical-analog volume control system
Signal Path
We believe that the simplest circuits work best together with the shortest signal path. That is why our pre-amplifiers to date have used single-ended pure class-A circuitry. The shorter the signal path is, the less possibility of sonic degradation from various sources, including the wire itself. Even on the circuit boards, the copper traces are kept to a very minimum length. The completely redesigned circuit board provides a more straightforward and direct approach to the signal paths.

How to use TIDAL with Ayon Network-Players
1.) You have to open a Tidal account, which is very simple and You have to pay monthly €/USD 9.99 or 19.99, it depends which quality level You want to order.
2.) You have to install the Linn Kazoo or Lumin control app (or any other control app which has already embedded “Tidal” application) at Your iPad.
3.) Please take a look that You have installed the latest Java version on Your NAS.
4.) Then download from http://www.bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/ the “BubbleUPnP Server” directly to your NAS and install it. After installation process is finished, on the desktop will be created a “Bubble” shortcut.
5.) Starting this shortcut will open a new window in Internet browser (note: almost all settings are actually generated automatically).
6.) Choose “Media Renderers” tab. On the left side click ayon NW-T, S-3 or S-5 (it becomes blue highlighted) and then tick “Create an OpenHome renderer”.
7.) A small dialog window will open, just click on the OK button to accept.
8.) Now You may start using Your iPad control app.
