Audiophile DAC architecture

Motivo is equipped with an ESS Sabre ES9038 DAC, which, together with a specially developed interface from Amanero Technologies, delivers precise and detailed analog sound reproduction. The combination of hardware and Volumio's optimized software ensures an open and natural soundstage with high resolution.

Advanced digital transport

As a digital transport, Motivo uses technology developed from Volumio Rivo. With dedicated reclocking, galvanic isolation, and separate power supply lines for the digital outputs, a stable and clean digital signal is ensured for external DACs.

The unit also supports I2S over HDMI, providing maximum sound quality with compatible high-end DACs.

Powerful headphone amplifier

Motivo features an advanced TPA6120A2 headphone amplifier from Texas Instruments. It is powered by linear regulators and offers two separate headphone outputs, optimized for high- and low-impedance headphones respectively.

This makes Motivo an ideal solution for both serious headphone listeners and traditional hi-fi systems.

Large touchscreen and intuitive operation

The 8-inch IPS touchscreen provides a direct and tactile way to navigate your music. With simple swipe gestures, you can browse through music libraries, album covers, and playlists – almost like flipping through a collection of vinyl records.

Motivo can also be controlled simultaneously via Volumio apps for iOS and Android or from a web browser.

Stream music from all your sources

Motivo provides access to a wide range of streaming options. You can play music from TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, internet radio, and network drives, as well as from local files and external drives.

All Volumio Premium features are included, including multi-room, CD playback, and advanced music navigation with AI-based music discovery.

Volumio Motivo is designed for music lovers who want an elegant all-in-one solution with audiophile sound quality, advanced streaming, and intuitive operation – perfect for both the desktop and a serious hi-fi system.
