Atonemo Streamplayer Review: Modernizing Vintage Audio for Just $99
Discover how the $99 Atonemo Streamplayer brings AirPlay 2 and Chromecast to your old speakers. Full review, specs, and comparison at PRISM.
Don't toss your old speakers just yet. Swedish startup Atonemo has launched a matchbox-sized solution called the Streamplayer, designed to bring high-res streaming to any legacy audio system without the hefty price tag.
Atonemo Streamplayer $99: Compact Specs and Features
The device measures a mere 1.97 x 2.76 x 0.73 inches, making it small enough to hide behind any amplifier. Despite its size, it supports AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and Tidal Connect. It handles audio resolution up to 24-bit/192 kHz, ensuring that your high-fidelity music remains crisp.
- Price: $99 (Available now)
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6, 3.5mm Analog/Optical output
- Power: USB-C input
Sound Quality and Competition
According to WIRED, the Atonemo Streamplayer uses a Realtek SoC DAC. While efficient and capable of high-res playback, it doesn't quite match the audio finesse of dedicated audiophile chips from ESS or AKM. In side-by-side tests with mid-range CD players, the streaming version felt slightly subdued, though the convenience for $99 is hard to beat.
| Model | Price | Top Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Atonemo Streamplayer | $99 | Ultra-compact, simple app |
| WiiM Mini | $89 | Best value for money |
| FiiO SR11 | $110 | DSD256 & 768kHz support |
