Volumio Rivo Plus Digital Transport & Audio Streamer

RIVO Plus Digital Audio Streamer By Volumio

Overview

The Volumio Rivo Plus represents the next evolution of Volumio’s dedicated digital transport design—engineered for music lovers who value purity, precision, and the ability to shape a system around the DAC of their choice. Building on the strengths of the original Rivo from Volumio, the Plus version introduces upgraded clocking architecture, dedicated processing for digital audio outputs, and enhanced connectivity options, all housed in a minimalist chassis made and finished in Florence, Italy.

At the heart of the Volumio Rivo Plus digital streaming transport is a newly implemented ASIC dedicated to managing S/PDIF and AES/EBU outputs. In simple terms, this means the timing of the digital signal is cleaner and more stable, helping your DAC perform at its best. Supporting this is enhanced MEMS clocking, which further reduces jitter over USB connections, allowing external DACs to receive a more precise and consistent stream of data.

For systems built around modern digital architectures, the Volumio Rivo Plus transport adds I2S over HDMI, one of the most direct and low-noise digital interfaces available today. Many high-end DACs prefer I2S for its efficiency and clarity, giving the Rivo Plus a versatile edge for both traditional and cutting-edge system designs.

The Volumio Rivo Plus is powered by a responsive Amlogic quad-core CPU with 2 GB of DDR4 RAM and 16 GB of internal storage, ensuring smooth operation of Volumio’s clean, intuitive user interface. As a pure digital transport, it contains no DAC or analogue circuitry, keeping the signal path focused and free from interference. Your external DAC—whether a compact desktop unit or a full-sized hi-fi converter—receives a clean, well-conditioned digital signal.

Connectivity is flexible and real-world friendly. Gigabit Ethernet provides the most stable network connection for high-resolution streaming, while dual-band Wi-Fi offers easy placement throughout your home. Multiple USB ports give you the option to connect a DAC or access local storage, and coaxial, AES/EBU, and HDMI-I2S outputs ensure compatibility with a wide range of digital systems. Software support includes Volumio Premium, as well as TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, Spotify Connect, UPnP/DLNA, multi-room functionality, and full Roon Ready certification.

In everyday use, the Volumio Rivo Plus streamer feels fast, refined, and stable. Whether you’re streaming lossless files from a NAS, exploring new music through Qobuz or TIDAL, or using it as the central hub of a high-end DAC-based system, it delivers a sense of clarity and ease. Everything about the unit is designed to blend into your listening environment—quiet operation, simple navigation, and consistent performance.

The minimalist aluminium chassis reflects Volumio’s Italian design approach: clean lines, solid construction, and a visual presence that suits both modern and classic audio systems. It’s understated, elegant, and built to last.

For Groove Central listeners who want to extract the best performance from their DAC, the Volumio Rivo Plus digital transport and streamer offers a powerful, flexible, and low-noise way to bring high-resolution streaming into any hi-fi setup. It brings together precision engineering, thoughtful software, and everyday usability in a way that feels natural and modern—making it a confident upgrade for anyone serious about digital audio.
