...Not only is the sound warm and detailed, as well as fresh and musical, but the plans and bands can be heard separately, and together - it is an art that at this price level is extremely rare... ... NuPrime devices are famous for their sound, which significantly exceeds the expectations in the budget in which they are sold" - I borrow this sentence from the manufacturer, because I can sign with it with both hands. At the same time, how perfect the description fits the WR-1. Its sound is surprisingly dense, saturated, calm, legible, without sharpening, and it impresses with an ordered stage. It is this calmness, maturity, saturation and space that impressed me the most. Just listen to the disc of Michel Godard "Monteverdi. A Trace of Grace" (FLAC 24/192): the sound surrounds the speakers, the stage is wide, and the interior of a medieval monastery full of concentrated air. Or Etty Cameron and Nikolaja Hess with friends ("Etta" FLAC 24/96): the sounds "take up the whole band", are embedded deeply, there is "glue" between them, although there is no lack of details. Or finally the award-winning Billie Eilish album "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" (FLAC, 24 / 44,1), where each vocal track is clearly heard, and the dynamics has an amazing "kick" ...

Controlling Multiple Stream Mini DAC and Re-Streaming


Each WR-2 is independently controlled by the 4Stream and can be accessed from the Device List. You can assign different names to each receiver, choose what songs each of them is playing, or even group them to play the same music. To group devices, press and hold a device icon and drag towards another device or existing group.
