Beautiful to look at and to listen to, the original multi-award winning Stream and Pulse models proved to be a huge success, providing an unbeatable combination of outstanding sound quality, superb build quality, styling and ergonomics. The new mark III versions took this solid foundation as a starting point to re-define what is achievable, with even better performance, stunning contemporary looks and a vast array of must-have features.
The Stream III CD player features an all-new slot loading transport controlled by Leema's own custom firmware providing secure and reliable disc handling with excellent retrieval of the digital information encoded on to the disc. The new Leema Quattro DAC is a further refinement of Leema's own highly successful MD² Multi-DAC giving a shorter signal path, lower noise, better separation and even better performance.
Both the Pulse III amplifier and the Stream III CD player feature four digital inputs, two optical, one coaxial and one USB, allowing the connection of external digital components. Leema's award-winning performance can now be enhance a whole range of digital sources such as digital satellite receivers, Sonos™ music systems, Sony PS3™ and DVD players etc., while a USB digital interface enables high quality replay from computer and bit-perfect digital archiving. In addition the Stream III also has an SPDIF coaxial output.
