Argon Audio SOLO
Don't miss a thing
We’ve packed SOLO full of features so you’ll never need another streamer. Nice, right? With SOLO you get AirPlay2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth and Roon Ready. We’ll continue to update SOLO with new features as well, so if anything new and exciting comes along, we’ll be sure to add it in a future update – completely free of course. With analogue, optical and coaxial outputs, connection SOLO to anything should be a breeze.
Audiophile sound quality
In designing the SOLO, we made sure to make a product that would make audiophiles happy, but at a price where everyone can get in on the fun. With a signal-to-noise ratio of over 120 dBA, 64 bit volume control and high end components where they really make a difference (but not where they don’t), you can be sure you’ll hear every detail of your favorite songs. Having separate low noise power supplies with two stage (active/passive) filtering might sound like mumbo jumbo but have a listen to SOLO and we promise you can hear the difference.
Rock solid wireless connection
Making a product without an Ethernet connection is a bold move. To make sure you don’t get drop outs, we’ve designed the wireless connection on SOLO with powerful dual band AC Wi-Fi using diversity antennas. You should have no problem with 24 bit/192 kHz lossless playback over Wi-Fi if your own network is up to the task. The internal Wi-Fi antennas have been placed so that the area with analogue circuits is completely radio-dead, while at the same time covering 360 degrees around the product.

Compact and Roon Ready, the Argon Audio SOLO stands out as a flexible network streamer with confident high-resolution playback, broad platform support, and stable wireless performance. 6 Moons highlights its solid build, keen reception, and smooth 24/192 delivery, making it a smart, modern source for listeners who want fuss-free streaming and clean digital output.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Broad streaming support including AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, and Roon Ready makes it highly versatile.
Delivers stable high-resolution playback and strong wireless reception, including 24/192 material via Roon.
Useful digital flexibility with optical and coaxial outputs lets it function as a streamer or transport.
Solid physical execution, with a sturdy satin finish, secure RCA sockets, and non-slip rubber bumpers.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 88/100
Reviewers describe the Solo as a capable digital source with a confident, clean presentation from its internal conversion and digital outputs. The comments focus more on reliable high-resolution delivery and stable playback than on dramatic sonic signature, but there is clear praise for how it serves up music without fuss.
Overall Sound
88/100
6 Moons calls it an ambitious streamer and says it served up 24/192 Qobuz material via Roon 'like rain on demand,' which points to an easy, convincing musical delivery. The review does not dwell on tonal color or grand sonic flourishes, but the available evidence is clearly positive about the listening result.
Digital Signal Integrity
89/100
Reviewers highlight strong wireless reception, stable 24/192 output over Roon, and both Toslink and coax digital outs rated for high-resolution playback. The mention of a solid 120dB signal-to-noise ratio, dual-band WiFi, diversity antennae, and promised firmware support all support the impression of a well-behaved digital delivery chain.
FEATURES USABILITY PERFORMANCE 92/100
The Solo is praised for broad modern streaming support and easy access to major ecosystems. Reviewers call out AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, and Roon Ready, along with native-app access to services such as Tidal and Qobuz, making it a flexible little network player for everyday use.
Streaming Software
92/100
The software side looks especially strong: reviewers praise AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, and Roon Ready, and note straightforward access to Tidal and Qobuz through native apps. The discussion suggests a smooth, broadly compatible experience rather than a fiddly or limited one.
Features Connectivity
91/100
Connectivity is nicely rounded for the class, with WiFi, Bluetooth, analog RCA out, and both optical and coaxial digital outputs. That combination lets the Solo work as a network streamer, a DAC-equipped source, or a digital transport feeding an external DAC, which adds real flexibility.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
86/100
The review describes the synthetic satin surface as attractively solid, notes that the RCA sockets don't wobble, and mentions rubber bumpers that keep the unit from slipping. There is some direct praise for fit and handling, though the coverage is limited and does not go deep on long-term construction or internal layout.
Value for Money
87/100
The review frames the Solo as a €250 network player and presents it as a smartly equipped option for newcomers and upgraders. None of the reviews call it overpriced, and the mix of Roon Ready support, multiple streaming platforms, and digital outputs makes it look reasonably justified for the asking price.
