The Genesis S2 Streamer DAC is a network streamer with built-in DAC from YBA, built with comprehensive high-resolution format support. The Genesis S2 Streamer DAC brings YBA's considered engineering to network-based digital audio playback.

Key specs that matter

A built-in DAC handles conversion, with DSD compatibility reaching DSD512 and PCM support up to 32-bit/768kHz - comprehensive format support. At 430 x 388 x 115mm and 9.1kg, the Genesis S2 Streamer DAC maintains a substantial chassis consistent with YBA's broader considered engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect clean, detailed conversion reflecting the comprehensive DSD512/768kHz PCM format support, consistent with YBA's considered French engineering approach.

Pairing

YBA's own amplifier catalogue offers a natural, brand-coherent pairing for this streaming DAC.

Alternatives

YBA's own HERITAGE D100 DAC offers a standalone conversion alternative within a different, more heritage-styled product line.
