{"product_id":"ferrum-broen-network-streaming-transport","title":"Ferrum BROEN Network Streaming Transport","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ferrum BROEN is a network streaming transport: it streams your music and sends a clean digital signal to your DAC. Its name means “bridge” in Danish. Powered by Volumio, it plays Spotify, TIDAL and Qobuz (each with Connect), AirPlay, UPnP\/DLNA, web radio, CD and your own files, and Ferrum’s new SERCE DDC passes the signal to galvanically isolated AES, coaxial, optical, I2S and USB outputs with ultra-low-jitter clocks. It works with most quality DACs, and pairs with Ferrum’s WANDLA and HYPSOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/Preliminary_20image_20BROEN_20front.jpg?v=1790784941\" alt=\"Ferrum BROEN network streaming transport, front\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA new digital heart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with HYPSOS, Ferrum started at the very beginning of the digital transport, a stream of zeros and ones, and set out to keep it as clean as possible from start to finish. That meant creating a new digital heart, the SERCE digital-to-digital module, tuned for DDC operation with FPGA-based reclocking. The input domain (streaming and control) and the output domain are kept separate, the synchronous outputs (coaxial, optical, AES, I2S) run from ultra-low-jitter clocks, and all audio outputs, USB DAC outputs included, sit behind a galvanic isolation barrier for the lowest noise. A dedicated VBUS gives the USB DAC outputs clean power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade for streaming\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVolumio OS 4, tailored for BROEN and used by more than half a million people, gives you:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpotify and Spotify Connect, TIDAL and TIDAL Connect, Qobuz and Qobuz Connect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirPlay (Shairport Sync), a UPnP\/DLNA renderer and integrated web radio directories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCD playback and ripping, Bluetooth A2DP playback, and streaming to Sonos and Chromecast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayback from USB drives, an internal M.2 NVMe SSD or NAS.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-room playback in up to six synchronised zones, AI-powered SuperSearch, Infinity Playback, album and artist stories and extended metadata, 29 languages, and alarm and sleep functions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Volumio plug-in store, with options such as Roon bridge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControl it from the iOS or Android app or any web browser (full control), from the front-panel buttons (basic playback), or from a Ferrum DAC’s touchscreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade for WANDLA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBROEN works with most quality DACs, controlled from your phone, tablet or computer.

An HDMI video output lets you watch Volumio on an external screen. For the network, Wi-Fi is standard and an SFP socket takes the included RJ45 Ethernet module, or an optional optical SFP module to connect to an SFP switch, keeping network noise to a minimum. Two USB 3.0 ports (A and C) take drives, and trigger in and out are provided.
