Device guide
Which Volumio is right for you
Every Volumio device plays your streaming services, your music library and internet radio. What sets them apart is what they connect to.

Pick the closest match. Each answer names the device and shows how it connects.
You have
A DAC you like
You need a streamer transport
Rivo or Rivo+, then Your DAC, then Your amplifier
It streams and sends a clean digital signal to your DAC, over USB, coaxial or AES/EBU. Rivo+ adds I2S over HDMI.
You have
A streamer or a computer
You need a DAC
Your streamer or computer, then Preciso, then Your amplifier
It turns the digital signal into analog sound, from USB, I2S over HDMI, coaxial or optical. It can also set the volume and drive a power amplifier directly.
You have
Passive speakers, and nothing else yet
You need a streamer DAC and a power amplifier
Primo Plus, then A power amplifier, then Speakers
Primo Plus sets the volume itself, so a power amplifier is all you add. Integro, which drove speakers directly, is no longer made.

Common setups
Three ways to build a system
From one box to separates. Your own hardware works too.

Transport and DAC
Separates: each box does one job, and you can change one without the other.
Lineo5 Duo can power both. Rivo+ and Preciso together: 5% off each.
