This tiny, gorgeous music streaming box uses ChatGPT to find new music you’ll like

The latest job that AI is coming to replace is “That friend you know who's really into music and always has new recommendations for you”. Italian hi-fi maker Volumio has just launched a new super-compact all-in-one hi-fi box that can work with the company's new ChatGPT-powered Supersearch tool to find new music recommendations for you from all your streaming services.

The Volumio Integro is an amp, DAC, headphones amp, and streaming box with hi-res support up to 192kHz 24-bit – all in a really small frame that has a retro-modern look that I think is absolutely beautiful. It's all aluminum around the outside, with burnt orange dials on the front, and a simple OLED screen in the center.

It features dual-mono class-D amplifiers, and you just need to hook up some speakers, or one of the best wired headphones over the 6.3mm jack, to get going. It can also, however, connect to a TV over an HDMI port, showing you a menu on the screen, and offering another sound output option.

It can stream music over Wi-Fi from major streaming services, though obviously something like Tidal or Qobuz really takes advantage of its capabilities – and there's Bluetooth support, as well as the ability to connect a turntable.
