Streaming music has become the norm, but not every speaker or sound system is built for it—especially older or high-end audio gear that prioritizes sound over software. That’s where Atonemo Streamplayer comes in. This compact device, launching this spring for $99/£99/€99, aims to make streaming easy for just about any audio setup, without forcing users into a closed ecosystem.
The Atonemo Streamplayer is a pocket-sized streaming device designed to add wireless capabilities to virtually any speaker, amplifier, or audio system. Whether you have a vintage Hi-Fi setup, a high-end passive speaker system, or even a basic Bluetooth speaker, this device can connect them to modern streaming services.
It’s powered via USB-C and connects to speakers or amplifiers using a simple 3.5mm Aux port. While that might seem basic, inside the Streamplayer is a high-resolution 24-bit/192kHz DAC, meaning it can handle lossless audio from services like TIDAL and Apple Music.
Unlike some streaming solutions that lock users into a single platform (like Sonos), the Streamplayer keeps things open. It supports AirPlay 2 and Google Cast, making it compatible with both iOS and Android devices. That means you can stream music directly from Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, YouTube Music, and more without needing a separate app.
For those who want multi-room audio, multiple Streamplayers can sync up across different rooms, essentially creating a Sonos-like system—without needing to replace existing speakers. It also works with Google Home and Apple HomeKit, allowing for smart home integration.
Atonemo is addressing a growing issue in the audio world: speakers and amplifiers outlasting the technology built into them. Many premium speaker brands focus on sound but struggle with software, leading to outdated or clunky streaming features. Some brands even force users into proprietary ecosystems, limiting flexibility.
With the Streamplayer, Atonemo wants to separate speaker design from streaming tech, letting users keep their favorite audio gear while still accessing modern streaming services.
Atonemo isn’t the first to offer this kind of solution. Companies like Wiim and Belkin already sell similar devices with AirPlay and Google Cast support. However, what makes the Streamplayer stand out is its combination of features in a single, compact device:
Another key difference is Atonemo’s minimalistic app approach. Instead of forcing users into a reskinned streaming interface, the app is only used for setup, device grouping, and equalizer adjustments—letting people stream directly from their preferred music services.
“Speakers should be about sound and design; Atonemo takes care of the rest,” says Leo Ballesteros, the founder and CEO of Atonemo. “We’re here to breathe new life into all the beautiful speakers, amplifiers and systems already out there, ensuring they remain timeless while embracing modern technology.”
For $99, the Atonemo Streamplayer could be an easy and affordable way to modernize an existing audio setup. It’s designed to work with a wide range of devices, offers high-quality streaming, and doesn’t tie users to any single ecosystem. If you have an old Hi-Fi system, a home theater setup, or just a great-sounding speaker that lacks streaming capabilities, this device might be worth considering.
