miniDSP Introduces New All-In-One Streaming Power Amplifier with Dirac Live Room Correction

HONG KONG, September 1st, 2020 — miniDSP, Hong Kong-based developer of innovative digital signal processing (DSP) platforms, today announced the latest member of its Streaming HD family: the Streaming HD Power (SHD Power). The new unit includes a streamer, a processor, Dirac Live room correction, a DAC, and an amplifier – providing customers with an affordable, all-in-one solution for home hi-fi systems of all sizes.

Other units in the Streaming HD series include the SHD and SHD Studio. The all-new SHD Power is currently on sale at miniDSP’s online store (here) for $1499, well below other comparable all-in-one units.

“The SHD Power is a true lifestyle product that’s plug-and-play and requires no additional add-ons to achieve high-end performance,” stated Antoine Rouget, miniDSP CEO. “It’s a small, powerful, and complete unit that can replace just about everything in one’s hi-fi system, yet at a price that’s about half comparable solutions on the market.”

The SHD Power includes a Dirac Live room correction license for full-range correction (20~20kHz) and the complete suite of miniDSP’s powerful but user-friendly audio tuning software.

The unit also includes two 120W per channel low-distortion amplifiers for powering main speakers, and two additional analog outputs for connecting one or multiple subwoofers. With three digital inputs (AES-EBU/SPDIF/TOSLINK) and high-resolution USB Audio, the SHD Power is the ideal modern integrated amplifier, all packed into an unbelievably compact metal enclosure.

The unit also includes network streaming over Ethernet or Wi-Fi that’s powered by a dedicated quad-core ARM processor, in addition to Volumio – a popular open-source network streamer that provides access to music files from sources as diverse as a USB stick, one’s local network, Internet Radio, Tidal, Qobuz and Spotify.

The miniDSP SHD Power was specified and tuned for true high-fidelity performance, with less than 0.005% THD from 1 watt all the way up to 100 watts of output power.

“Our mission at miniDSP is to develop best-in-class products that can be afforded by the many, not the few – and SHD Power delivers on that promise,” concluded Rouget. “We aim to democratize high-end audio and this latest product is another important step in that direction.”

The miniDSP SHD Power comes with the SHD Power Audio Processor, a Dirac Live room correction license (full-range correction, 20~20kHz), a USB WiFi 2.4GHz adaptor, an IR remote, an IEC power plug (UK/EU/US), and a miniDSP UMIK-1 calibrated measurement microphone.
