Welcome to Sonik

Sonik is a multi-protocol audio streaming OS for Raspberry Pi. Set it up once, and it just plays music.

What is Sonik?

Sonik turns a Raspberry Pi into a dedicated network audio bridge. Connect a DAC via USB or use a supported HAT, and Sonik takes care of the rest. There’s no keyboard, no screen, no fiddling — just music.

It is designed to be an appliance — set it up once and forget about it. Updates happen automatically in the background.
