Silent Angel Rhein Z1 Plus – Unlock Elite Streaming Performance

Looking to elevate your digital audio setup with true audiophile-grade quality? The Silent Angel Rhein Z1 Plus music streamer offers a premium solution for high-resolution streaming that rivals even the most expensive systems—without unnecessary complexity. Designed for audio enthusiasts who demand the best, the Z1 Plus combines advanced hardware, high-quality construction, and upgrade flexibility that truly sets it apart.

At its core, the Rhein Z1 Plus is engineered to deliver pure sound with zero compromise. Encased in a beautifully milled 6061 aluminum alloy chassis, this streamer offers exceptional thermal management and shielding from electromagnetic interference. The fanless, passively cooled design ensures whisper-quiet operation—an essential feature in serious listening environments.

Under the hood, the Rhein Z1 Plus runs on an Intel Quad-core CPU J6413 and offers either 16GB or 32GB of RAM, with blazing-fast NVMe SSD storage (available in 250GB or 4TB configurations). It supports the latest high-resolution audio formats, including DSD512 and PCM up to 768kHz, for a listening experience that’s rich in detail and effortlessly dynamic.

Ultimate Performance with External Clock & Power Supply

For those who want to push performance to the highest level, the Rhein Z1 Plus supports seamless integration with Silent Angel’s Genesis GX word clock. This external precision clock reduces timing jitter, offering ultra-stable digital signal synchronization for greater sonic depth, wider soundstage, and improved clarity—especially noticeable in orchestral, jazz, and acoustic recordings.

Additionally, users can further enhance audio performance by connecting the Silent Angel Forester F2 Linear Power Supply. Replacing the stock power input with this clean, ultra-low-noise power source significantly reduces electrical interference and improves signal integrity. The result? Blacker backgrounds, punchier dynamics, and more lifelike detail across the spectrum.

Stream With Confidence and Clarity

With dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, the Rhein Z1 Plus allows you to build an isolated audio streaming network—ideal for eliminating latency, jitter, and noise introduced by general-purpose home networks. Whether you’re streaming from Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, Apple AirPlay, or Amazon Music HD, or managing local files via NAS, you’ll enjoy stable, high-performance playback.

The VitOS Manager app makes device control intuitive, letting you easily manage your music library and settings from your smartphone or tablet.
