Build You Own World-Class Music Streamer!

Easy to follow DIY Instructions

Four DIY Options:

We offer four DIY options to meet the needs of music lovers with different systems, different budgets, and different degrees of technical expertise:

  • Power supply kit.
  • Power supply kit installed in Streacom FC10 chassis.
  • Bare-bones streamer with efficient embedded CPU mobo.
  • Bare-bones streamer with powerful 35w i7 CPU and mobo.
NOTE: with the bare bones options you get a fully tested chassis, power supply, and motherboard, but there are no drives, cards, or clocks. DIY options are available in a variety of voltages to meet your specifications.

We also offer remanufacturing services that allow you to send us your boards, drives, cards, and clocks, for us to install into the FC10 chassis.

Contact us with any special requests.


Elegant. Versatile. Uncompromising.

Our kits provide you with the ultimate integrated linear power supply and our blog provides you with all the information you need to build a custom music streamer that rivals the best-of-the-best for a fraction of the cost.

  • Modular: you only pay for what you need.
  • Obsolete proof: adapts as technology or your needs change.
  • 5X isolated ultralow-noise ultrahigh-dynamic power supplies.
  • Independently power motherboard, drives, cards, and master clock.
  • Install your own USB, Ethernet, I2S, AES/EBU, or Optical I/O ports.
  • Use high-performance cards from JCAT, SOtM, Pink Faun, and After Dark.
  • Upgrade your performance with a synchronized OCXO master clock.
  • Runs any Windows or Linux based player and DSP software.
  • Roon, HQ Player, JRiver, Euphony Stylus, Tidal, Qobuz, and more.


Build it to your specifications:

Sold as a power supply kit, power supply kit installed in a Streacom FC10 Alpha chassis, or bare-bones streamer. Available in BLACK or SILVER anodized finish.

Anyone with the skills to build a computer can build a world-class streamer.

  • Use any Mini-ITX motherboard and CPU with up to TDP 95w.
  • Power any motherboard or ATX power adapter with 12V-19V and up to 10A.
  • Power any PCIe cards, storage drives, or clocks with 5V-12V and up to 3A.
  • Four Molex 4-pin PATA ports to power any standard computer components.
NOTE: our integrated power supply has enough current to power a motherboard, 35w CPU, SSD, Ethernet card, USB card, and master clock. And more than enough current to power the same drives, cards, and clocks, and a high efficiency motherboard with an embedded CPU.

If you need more power, please contact us to discuss other options.


No-compromise LC choke-input power supply:

An LC choke-input power supply is the largest, heaviest, least efficient, and most expensive power supply typology you can use.

LC choke-input power supplies have the highest impedance to AC, lowest impedance to DC, 50% the crest factor and heat of a capacitive power supply and require a power transformer that is 50% larger.

No small difference.

This translates to a power supply that has the lowest noise, the most effortless dynamic performance, the most isolation from AC noise, and the most durability of any power supply typology.

  • Ultralow-noise: <50uV peak-to-peak noise/ripple.
  • Ultrafast-recovery: <10uS settling time from zero to full output.
  • Ultrafast ultralow-noise zero-recovery SiC Schottky diode bridge.
  • 1X 10A Belleson SPRU ultralow-noise ultrahigh-dynamic regulator.
  • 4X 3A Belleson SPX ultralow-noise ultrahigh-dynamic regulators.
  • LC choke input power supply w/ Lundahl balanced C-core choke.
  • 200VA toroidal power transformer with steel shielding can.
  • Organic polymer capacitors with ESR as low as 7mOhms.
  • WIMA metallized film bypass capacitors.
  • Furutech FI-06G AC power inlet.
  • Laboratory grade AC power filter.
  • 5A continuous and 8A peak power transfer.
  • Over-current protection on each power supply.
  • Module utilizes chassis heat sink and existing mounting holes.
  • .25" thick aluminum choke shielding barrier with 2.5" drive mount.


Streacom FC10 Alpha Chassis:

  • Available in SILVER or BLACK with fine sandblast anodized finish.
  • Premium Grade 6063 aluminum with 4mm Thick Extruded Panels.
  • 2X Expansion card slots with a maximum length of 180mm.
  • 4X copper heatpipes can handle up to a TDP 95w CPU.
  • Dimension: 440mm W x 319mm D x 100mm H.
