Look inside
A clean path to your DAC
Rivo means stream in Italian. It streams music to your DAC, or to an amplifier with a DAC built in, and does nothing else. The architecture is simple, to keep the digital signal path as clean as possible.
Isolated outputs
1:1 transformers in grain-oriented OFC copper give the coaxial and AES/EBU outputs galvanic isolation. The digital signal reaches your DAC without any filtering or changes.
Power for each section
Every section has its own power supply, and the internal clock has a dedicated one with its own stabilizer. Before the power reaches the circuits, a chain of inductors and electrolytic capacitors filters it. Each part stays stable on its own, which keeps noise down.
A clean USB output
The USB DAC output has power filtering and a dedicated clock. It plays up to PCM 1536 kHz / 32-bit and DSD1024, with multiroom off.
Finishes
Classic or Black Edition
Rivo comes in two finishes with the same performance. The new Black Edition is a limited edition, with a front panel in black upcycled leather.
Classic
