Audio Streaming Platforms

Roon Ready, Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, and Qobuz on embedded Linux hardware, from architecture and implementation through official certification.

Adding streaming connectivity to audio hardware isn't just a software task. It requires careful integration with the audio subsystem, network stack, hardware capabilities, and the certification requirements of each streaming partner. Getting it wrong means failed certification, degraded audio performance, or a product that doesn't behave the way users expect.

We've built and certified streaming platforms for high-end audio manufacturers. We understand the Roon Ready certification process, the requirements for Tidal Connect and Spotify Connect integration, and how to achieve low-latency, high-fidelity audio paths on embedded Linux hardware.

We work on both the hardware and software simultaneously, meaning the audio clock architecture, PCM/DSD path, and network stack are designed together, not bolted on after the fact.

Deliverables

  • Roon Ready certification (endpoint and output integration)
  • Tidal Connect implementation
  • Spotify Connect implementation
  • Qobuz streaming integration
  • AirPlay 2 support
  • DLNA/UPnP media rendering
  • Native DSD and PCM audio path design
  • Embedded Linux audio stack configuration (ALSA, PipeWire)
  • Network stack and Wi-Fi/Ethernet integration

This Service Is For

  • Audio hardware manufacturers adding streaming to products
  • Teams building networked audio components (DACs, streamers, preamps)
  • Products requiring Roon Ready or MQA certification
  • Companies transitioning from standalone to networked audio
  • High-end audio brands needing bit-perfect streaming paths
