The Device

Meet the ByteWave MK.I

A Raspberry Pi-powered portable streaming device with a premium Hi-Res DAC. 32-bit / 384kHz audio. Built for audiophiles who refuse to compromise.

◈

Custom Hi-Res DAC

Premium audio chip delivering 32-bit / 384kHz hi-res output with ultra-low noise floor.
⟁

Dual Output — 3.5mm + 4.4mm

Standard single-ended 3.5mm and premium 4.4mm balanced pentaconn output for IEM and headphone users.
⬡

Wavepunk OS — IronOS

Custom Linux system with PipeWire dynamic audio switching, MPD backend, and AirPlay support.
◍

Raspberry Pi Compute Module

Quad-core ARM processing with full WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, and a real-time audio pipeline.

Sample Rate

384_kHz

Up to 384kHz native playback — well beyond CD quality and hi-res streaming standards.

Bit Depth

32_bit

True 32-bit processing — 4× the precision of standard 8-bit, 2× of 16-bit. Every detail, preserved.

Output Options

3.5 + 4.4_mm

Both standard single-ended 3.5mm and 4.4mm balanced pentaconn — pro-grade output in a pocket device.

DAC Chip

CUSTOM_{HI-RES DAC}

A premium proprietary DAC chip — the same DNA as high-end desktop units, miniaturised into a pocket device.

Audio Hardware

Hi-Res Audio
Done Right

We didn’t settle for a generic DAC chip. The ByteWave MK.I ships with a custom hi-res DAC — a premium chip delivering studio-grade audio from a device that fits in your pocket.

32-bit depth means 4 billion possible amplitude values per sample. 384kHz means over 384,000 samples per second. This isn’t marketing. It’s math.

Under the Hood

Engineering that actually matters

No marketing fluff. Real hardware, real software, engineered by people who live and breathe audio.

⚡

RASPBERRY PI CM4

Quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 at 1.5GHz. Runs a stripped-down Linux OS optimised purely for audio — no bloat, no compromise.

🎵

PIPEWIRE + MPD

PipeWire for dynamic audio switching and ultra-low latency. MPD as the music server — the gold standard for audiophile playback on Linux.

📡

AIRPLAY + WIFI

Stream directly from your iPhone or Mac via AirPlay. Dual-band 802.11ac WiFi with antenna diversity keeps the stream locked.

The Software

Wavepunk
Music OS

A fully custom PyQt5 music player built specifically for the ByteWave MK.I. Cyberpunk UI, real-time visualiser, smart song scoring, play-count tracking, and a settings panel that actually makes sense.

▶

Real-Time Visualiser

Live waveform and spectrum visualiser that reacts to your music in real time.
♡

Smart Song Scoring

Learns your listening habits — liked songs, skip patterns, completion rate — and adapts.
📺

AirPlay Screen Mode

Dedicated AirPlay receiver mode with animated aurora background.
⚙

Wavepunk Config Panel

Full settings UI: playback, HUD, voice, display, and system stats — all on device.
