Audiomania expert verdict

A compact budget streamer with an ES9018K2M DAC and the widest connectivity in its class: HDMI ARC, analogue in, USB-A, LAN, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, AirPlay 2 and DLNA, RCA and optical outs, a remote. It solves “TV + phone + DAC-less amplifier” for the price of a cable; there is no evidence about the sound yet. AI draft, under review

Technologies and construction

  • ES9018K2M Sabre DAC, 32-bit HyperStream

    What it is: An ESS ES9018K2M DAC with 32-bit HyperStream architecture; a PCM1821 ADC digitises the 3.5 mm analogue input.

    Practical benefit: An RCA output for a DAC-less amplifier; the analogue input passes through the ADC, so the equaliser and multiroom work for it too.

  • Six connection options, including HDMI ARC

    What it is: Bluetooth 5.4 (SBC), HDMI ARC, a 3.5 mm analogue stereo input, USB-A for drives, LAN RJ45, Wi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz.

    Practical benefit: A TV and a console join a stereo system without an AV receiver — via HDMI ARC and RCA to the amplifier.

  • AirPlay 2 and DLNA

    What it is: AirPlay 2 and DLNA — streaming from phones, tablets and a media server over Wi-Fi/LAN.

    Practical benefit: Any service from an iPhone (incl. Russian ones) over AirPlay 2, without Bluetooth compression.

  • iAudioCloud app: multiroom and equaliser

    What it is: Access to streaming services and internet radio, grouping several SX1 Pro units into a multiroom network, a multiband equaliser.

    Practical benefit: Tonal balance adjustment for the room and speakers right in the app.

  • Remote control (up to 25 m) and trigger output

    What it is: The remote powers the streamer, selects the source, adjusts volume and controls playback; a 2.5 mm Mini Jack trigger output.

    Practical benefit: An amplifier with a trigger input powers up with the streamer; volume from the remote — no phone needed.

FAQ

›How do I connect a TV to a stereo amplifier through the SX1 Pro?
TV → the streamer's HDMI ARC (HDMI cable into the TV's ARC/eARC port), streamer → the amplifier's RCA input; volume from the streamer's remote (it controls volume) or the amplifier. Same for a games console.
›How do I play Yandex Music?
From an iPhone/iPad — via AirPlay 2 over Wi-Fi; from Android — via Bluetooth 5.4 (SBC codec). Russian services are not declared natively in the iAudioCloud app.
›Which USB drives and files does the USB input support?
FAT32, up to 32 GB; MP3, AIFF, FLAC and WAV files up to 24-bit / 192 kHz. No DSD or MQA.
›My amplifier has only RCA inputs — will it work?
Yes: a built-in ES9018K2M DAC and an RCA stereo output. If your amplifier has a DAC with an optical input, you can send digital over Toslink instead.
›Which streaming services are in the app?
The card does not name services: iAudioCloud “gives access to streaming services and internet radio”. Guaranteed paths are AirPlay 2 (any service from an iPhone), DLNA (from a server) and Bluetooth (any app); Spotify/Tidal Connect and Roon are not declared. We will check with the supplier. AI draft, under review
›How does multiroom work?
Several SX1 Pro units join one multiroom network in the iAudioCloud app; AirPlay 2 also lets an iPhone play to several AirPlay devices.
›What are the power supply and dimensions?
5 V / 2 A DC (external adapter); 120 × 42 × 120 mm, 468 g; a 2.5 mm trigger output to switch on the amplifier.
