Streamers
Streaming refers to the on-demand delivery of digital media, something which has become more commonplace since the widespread rollout of high-speed data networks. Many households now enjoy fibre-optic cable internet connections, and it is now possible to stream both recorded and live audio / video content from the internet, via 3G, 4G and 5G cellular networks, direct to a mobile device.
Streaming does not always involve the internet or cloud-based services. Many music lovers choose to purchase media storage, NAS drives or dedicated servers to store their music libraries, and stream their content wirelessly around the home.
Before streaming, users had to download or transfer a complete media file before playback could begin. There are benefits to this approach - playing digital media from built-in memory is fast, less prone to buffering errors, and not reliant on a data connection - however there is now far more content available than is possible to store on one device, and internet / cloud delivery technology has reached the point where it works brilliantly for most of the time.
Audio Sanctuary have been involved in audiophile streaming technology since it became available, and are trusted global suppliers of high-quality streamers for home or portable use, from premium brands including AURALiC, Ruark Audio, Leema Acoustics, iFi Audio, English Electric and Chord Electronics.
