Key Features of the Volumio Rivo Plus

Dedicated ASIC for S/PDIF and AES-EBU

The Volumio Rivo Plus uses a dedicated application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for generating S/PDIF and AES-EBU output signals.

This component is optimized to ensure absolute precision in digital signal transmission, minimizing jitter and interference that can be introduced by the main processor. The presence of the dedicated ASIC enables pure and distortion-free digital sound quality, making it ideal for high-end audio applications.

Improved MEMS Clocks

The device integrates advanced MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) clocks inside the USB HUB IC controller. These clocks offer exceptional temporal stability, improving reclocking and ensuring audio signal integrity. Thanks to this technology, the Volumio Rivo Plus ensures superior jitter stability, with precise and consistent sound reproduction even under varying operating conditions.

I2S/DSD Connectivity over HDMI

The Volumio Rivo Plus introduces I2S/DSD connectivity via HDMI, a feature that enables optimal sound performance with high-end external DACs. Compared to traditional S/PDIF, AES-EBU, and USB, this interface offers a more direct transmission that is less susceptible to signal loss. The I2S/DSD connection represents an innovative solution for audiophiles seeking the ultimate in sound fidelity.

Integrated Volumio Premium

The device is equipped with the latest version of Volumio OS, which includes advanced features such as AI-powered "Supersearch" for intuitive and quick discovery of new music content. Additionally, the operating system supports Multi-room functionality, allowing seamless integration with other Volumio stations in the home environment.

Roon Ready Compatibility

The Volumio Rivo Plus is Roon Ready certified, enabling perfect integration with Roon software. This guarantees users total control over their music library through an intuitive and feature-rich interface.

Advanced Technical Details

Clock Stability Optimization

The improvement of MEMS clocks in the USB HUB IC controller not only enhances jitter stability but also ensures greater resistance to temperature changes and component aging. This is particularly important for USB DACs, where temporal stability directly affects perceived audio quality. The architecture of the Volumio Rivo Plus is based on precise signal management, offering faithful and transparent sound reproduction.

I2S/DSD Interface for Superior Performance

The adoption of the I2S/DSD over HDMI interface has been designed to meet the needs of audiophiles and professionals who demand the highest audio quality. This connection reduces the need for multiple signal conversions, minimizing quality loss and preserving the integrity of the sound source. For compatible DACs, this solution represents a significant improvement over traditional standards.

User Experience

The Volumio Rivo Plus is not only a concentration of advanced technology but is also designed to offer an intuitive user experience. Thanks to the official Volumio app available for iOS and Android, initial installation and configuration take just a few minutes. Moreover, dedicated support ensures timely assistance to solve any technical or configuration issues.

Made in Italy Design and Production

Each unit of the Volumio Rivo Plus is carefully designed and assembled in Florence, a symbol of Italian excellence in the audio industry. The build quality is evident in the details, with a minimalist yet functional design that seamlessly integrates into any professional or home audio setup.
