DENAFRIPS ARC-E Streamer
Created as a tribute to DENAFRIPS’ 12 years of digital audio mastery, the ARC-E Streamer embodies a single guiding principle: sound quality above all else. Designed for discerning listeners, the ARC-E supports Roon Bridge (Roon Ready pending), HQPlayer NAA, AirPlay, and DLNA, offering versatile playback options that suit a wide range of audiophile setups.
Beyond network streaming, ARC-E also enables local file playback via USB, SD card, or NAS, allowing effortless access to your music library with exceptional fidelity and precision.
Streamer Module
At the heart of the ARC-E lies a proprietary Streamer Module, engineered entirely in-house by DENAFRIPS’ design team. It features a Quad-Core ARM Cortex Processor, high-precision crystal oscillators, and low-noise LT fast transient response LDO regulators — all optimised for sonic performance.
The tailored operating system (OS) has been fine-tuned to deliver a highly musical and euphoric listening experience, ensuring that every nuance of your audio is preserved with purity and emotion.
Digital Signal Processing
The ARC-E employs an FPGA-based digital processing core, programmed with DENAFRIPS’ extensive expertise in Digital Signal Processing (DSP). To protect signal integrity, galvanic isolation via opto-couplers is implemented, effectively eliminating electrical interference and ensuring a cleaner, more stable digital output.
Anodised Aluminium Chassis
The ARC-E is available in two refined finishes — silver or black — both crafted from anodised aluminium for superior durability and shielding. Compact yet luxurious, this design caters to those seeking a sleek, space-efficient streamer that complements any high-end system aesthetically and sonically.
Silver-Plated UPOCC Copper AC Power Socket
In a testament to its unwavering dedication to signal purity, DENAFRIPS has re-engineered the ARC-E’s AC mains socket. Far from a simplification, this non-switched socket is custom-built in-house using silver-plated UPOCC copper, reducing contact resistance and improving current delivery.
This design reflects DENAFRIPS’ firm belief that a superior power supply is the foundation of superior sound — bringing the ARC-E closer to the ideal of absolute audio transparency.
Ultra-Pure OCC Copper 60VA O-Core Transformer
Powering the ARC-E is a custom 60VA O-Core shielded transformer, meticulously hand-wound in-house from ultra-pure OCC copper. This oversized transformer supplies abundant and ultra-stable power to the multi-stage linear power supply, ensuring exceptionally low noise, high current capability, and unwavering performance consistency.
The result is a streamer of remarkable musicality, combining precision engineering with effortless elegance — an expression of DENAFRIPS’ relentless pursuit of perfection in digital audio.

Specifications
- Proprietary Streamer Module developed by DENAFRIPS
- Tailored Operating System (OS) optimised for sound quality
- UPOCC O-Core Transformer, Low Noise LDO Power Supply
- TCXO Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators 45.1548MHz, 49.152Mhz
Limitation(s):
- The Android-exclusive app is currently under development and lacks the responsiveness and user-friendliness seen in popular streaming platforms on the market. Consequently, the playback experience for local files is basic and rudimentary.
- The DLNA streaming capability is presently restricted to 16-bit/44.1kHz. There are intentions to enhance this feature, but a specific date for this update has not been confirmed yet.
- As a result, we strongly suggest the Arc-e streamer for individuals using Roon.
