Songbird is easily connected to any audio system or powered speaker system that has an analog or an optical digital input. That includes almost everything. Songbird also includes its own analog and digital inputs, so you don’t lose an input you may already be using. Or, you can even use Songbird’s optical input to add a digital input to a vintage system that doesn’t already have one.
Songbird is delivered with native access to Qobuz, Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Napster, I-Heart Radio, and Tune-In. Other services will be added as they become available. (Note some services require a subscription.)
Songbird will access and play music files on any DNLA or AirPlay compatible device on your home network such as a computer or network storage device.
Operate Songbird with Songbird Control, our simple and intuitive app available for free on Apple Store and Google Play (available by December 1, 2020).

Songbird provides lossless decoding of music files from High-Resolution services up to 24-bit/192 kHz. In order to provide compatibility with legacy audio equipment, and to facilitate reliable multi-room streaming capability, its digital output is resampled to CD quality resolution of 16 bit/ 44.1kHz.
Songbird plugs into your “Line / Ceramic Cartridge” RCA Input. This works automatically alongside your turntable, which is plugged into the “Magnetic Phono” input.
Model-One features a Digital Optical Input, into which Songbird can be plugged. You may connect Songbird to Model-One via its Analog Aux Input.
(Updated Dec 7, 2020) Gapless is only supported with the native apps from the providers, using airplay or DLNA connections to transmit from another device to SongBird. Gapless requires internal storage, which this current chip version does not support.
Updates are distributed to all product owners via the Songbird Control app. The option will appear in the app when it's available to download.
Songbird can act as a Personal Hotspot, to which your iPhone can connect directly. This requires Songbird to have a hardwired ethernet connection to the internet.
Songbird favors Ethernet connection over WiFi.
