Rotel Launches All-in-One Integrated Amplifier, DAC and Network Streamer

Sooner or later, even the most traditional hifi component manufacturers realize some users simply want a decent quality music source to connect to good quality speakers, and no fuss. Even Japanese brand Rotel acknowledges the need to offer an updated design that could serve this market, with room to grow. The result is the S14 Integrated Network Streamer, which is a nice integrated amplifier with a color display, offering discerning listeners a high-performance way to access and enjoy online music with ease.

Bluesound announced the Powernode Edge to expand its hi-res wireless multiroom line of audio products. The new single-zone, wireless music streaming amplifier is a perfect entry point into “just add speakers” hifi systems for the modern age, combining streaming sources, control, and amplification all in one affordable device. Shipping starts in early October 2022 with suggested pricing for each unit at USD $649.
