PiBridge is a pre-configured wireless audio endpoint that works with Roon, AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect. Plug it in, set up from your phone, done.
One device, three streaming protocols, zero configuration files. PiBridge does one thing brilliantly — gets music from your network to your DAC.
PiBridge creates a WiFi hotspot on first boot. Connect your phone, enter your WiFi details, done. Under 2 minutes, no computer needed.
Pure digital output via USB to your existing DAC. Bit-perfect signal path — PiBridge doesn't touch the audio, your DAC does all the work.
Roon Bridge, AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect all run at the same time. Use whichever you like — it just works.
No fans, no moving parts, no noise. Smaller than a pack of cards. Tucks behind your hi-fi and disappears.
Changed router? Unplug and replug three times quickly — PiBridge resets itself and the setup hotspot reappears. No computer needed.
Each PiBridge is built, configured and tested by hand in Northampton. Quality checked before it ships.
No command line. No SD cards. No tutorials. Just plug in and follow the wizard.
Connect PiBridge to power via USB-C and to your DAC via USB. It boots up and creates a WiFi hotspot called PiBridge-Setup.
Join the PiBridge-Setup network. A setup wizard opens automatically. Enter your home WiFi name and password. Give your PiBridge a name.
PiBridge restarts, joins your WiFi, and appears in Roon, AirPlay and Spotify. Pick a song. That's it.
