Product Overview

DALI Sound Hub is a wireless audio controller for DALI's CALLISTO C, RUBICON C, and OBERON C wireless loudspeaker systems.
The Sound Hub features an extended range of digital and analogue inputs as well as wireless connectivity. It uses either 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz band to send 24bit 96kHz high-fidelity audio signal to the wireless speakers. The high bandwidth, low latency protocol is a broadcasting connection, meaning that multiple sets of speakers can connect to the same stereo.
DALI debuted the Sound Hub at the end of 2017 with the CALLISTO C series, which went on sale in 2018. In 2019 and 2020, DALI introduced the RUBICON C and OBERON C series respectively.
In 2020, DALI released the Sound Hub Compact, which comes with a reduced feature set but drives the same wireless speakers nonetheless.

Reviewers from hifinews have found the following***:
The Callisto 6 Cs sound big, rich and striking, and if listening to them for fun rather than analysing every element of the sound, there'd be no complaints whatsoever. What little they lack in ultimate hi-fi niceties they more than make up for in musical appeal, as I found when listening to the entirety of the recent Les Arts Florissants/William Christie set of 'Handel, Music For Queen Caroline'
