British audio manufacturer Leak has announced its first-ever dedicated music streamer, the TruStream. Following Leak's return to the audio world in 2020 with the likes of the Stereo 130 amp and CDT CD transport, the established brand is now turning its attention to modern music streaming with its debut network player. At the heart of the new player is an ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC chip, complemented by ESS's HyperStream II architecture and 'Time Domain Jitter Eliminator' technologies for reducing timing inaccuracies and improving sonic fidelity. The TruStream also makes use of a post-DAC active filter circuit designed to "unlock the potential of the (DAC's) performance and dynamic range". Leak's debutante uses Silent Angel's dedicated streaming platform, the same as you'll find in the recently revealed half-width Mission 778S network player.
