As music streaming dominates the way we listen to our favourite tunes more than ever before, far surpassing vinyl’s resurgence, it is perhaps no surprise that the music streamer \u2013 or network audio player \u2013 category at the What Hi-Fi? Awards 2025<\/a> has seen such an upheaval.<\/p>\n

Three out of the five winners are brand-new entrants, showing just how competitive and strong the market is in this ever-growing category. That these new winners are all on the premium side also shows just how serious \u2013 and seriously good \u2013 brands are getting in terms of delivering great usability, a wide array of features and<\/em> great hi-res sound quality.<\/p>\n

All the winning streamers here tick the boxes when it comes to supporting the popular music streaming services (Qobuz<\/a>, Tidal<\/a>, Spotify<\/a>, internet radio), playing hi-res music over a wi-fi or wired network, along with a varying array of physical connectivity. Each model has its own particulars \u2013 and some provide more features than others \u2013 but overall, each model’s streaming platform is strong, covers the most popular streaming methods, and is easy to use.<\/p>\n
