The Volumio Primo V3 is the latest generation of Volumio's premium network music streamer, designed and engineered in Italy for discerning audiophiles seeking outstanding sound quality, exceptional versatility and an intuitive user experience. Combining a state-of-the-art network streamer, a next-generation ESS Sabre DAC, a completely redesigned analogue output stage and the acclaimed Volumio Premium software platform, the Primo V3 offers a complete digital source for today's high-end Hi-Fi systems.

At its core is the latest ESS Sabre ES9039Q2M digital-to-analogue converter, featuring HyperStream IV architecture for ultra-low distortion, reduced jitter and an exceptionally wide dynamic range. Together with a dedicated low-phase-noise clock and a carefully engineered linear power supply, the DAC delivers remarkable transparency, precise imaging and a natural, highly detailed musical presentation capable of revealing every nuance of high-resolution recordings.

The powerful Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A72 processor, supported by 2 GB of DDR4 RAM and 16 GB of onboard eMMC storage, ensures fast operation and smooth navigation even with extensive music libraries. Whether streaming online content or playing locally stored music, the Primo V3 offers responsive performance and excellent system stability.

Powered by the latest Volumio operating system, the Primo V3 provides direct access to the world's leading music services, including TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Spotify, Internet Radio, AirPlay, DLNA and Roon Ready compatibility. Music can also be streamed from NAS drives, USB storage devices and UPnP servers, all controlled through the intuitive Volumio App or any web browser.

The completely redesigned analogue stage offers both unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR outputs, each with adjustable output levels, allowing perfect integration with integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers or active loudspeakers. Audiophiles can further tailor the sound by selecting between eight ESS digital filters and an optional Non-Oversampling (NOS) playback mode.

For systems equipped with an external DAC, the Primo V3 also functions as a high-performance digital transport through its USB Audio output, supporting resolutions up to PCM 1536 kHz / 32-bit and DSD1024, making it one of the most advanced network transports available in its class.
