(June 2, 2026) Pure Audio Streaming is heading to High End Vienna 2026 with plans to expand device support, launch a new dealer demonstration initiative, and continue growing what has become the industry's most ambitious immersive music streaming platform. Founded by Blu-ray audio pioneer Stefan Bock, the service continues to position itself as a premium destination for listeners seeking lossless, immersive, high-resolution music playback.
The company says it will use the show to meet with manufacturers, dealers, recording studios, artists, and content owners to discuss upcoming platform developments and partnership opportunities. Among the biggest announcements is a plan to add native Apple TV, macOS, and Windows desktop support during the third quarter of 2026. Those additions would broaden access beyond the platforms currently supported for immersive playback and should make the service significantly easier to integrate into both dedicated listening rooms and home theater systems.
Pure Audio Streaming launched in 2025 as an extension of the Pure Audio Blu-ray ecosystem that helped establish high-resolution music releases on optical media. Rather than competing directly with mainstream music services on catalog size, Pure Audio focuses on delivering premium audio quality, including immersive music, multichannel playback, binaural audio for headphones, and lossless stereo content.
Today, immersive playback is built primarily around AURO-3D, a format familiar to many home theater enthusiasts who own processors from companies such as StormAudio, Trinnov, Denon, Marantz, and JBL Synthesis. According to Pure Audio, supported playback formats currently include AURO-3D, PCM, and binaural audio, depending on the playback device being used. The company also notes that it's evaluating additional technologies and delivery formats as the platform continues to evolve.
Pure Audio's catalog is rooted beyond the classical music feel many audiophiles might associate with high-resolution recording labels. The company says its library now includes jazz, rock, choral, country, and electronica, with additional content continuing to be added through partnerships with participating labels and artists.
The service is currently available in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Switzerland, Norway, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. Subscription pricing is $25 per month or $275 per year, with a 7-day free trial.
Another initiative unveiled ahead of Vienna is a new dealer and manufacturer demo program. The effort is designed to help retailers, custom integrators, recording studios, and audio manufacturers use Pure Audio Streaming as a reference-quality source during product demonstrations. The company says participating partners will receive resources to showcase high-quality immersive content in listening rooms, luxury home cinemas, showrooms, and industry events.
That emphasis on demonstrations makes sense. While immersive music has gained traction through services such as Apple Music and TIDAL, Pure Audio is attempting to differentiate itself by focusing on lossless delivery and dedicated high-end playback systems. The strategy aligns closely with the company's origins in the Pure Audio Blu-ray format, where sound quality has traditionally taken precedence over mass-market convenience.
Whether that approach can help Pure Audio Streaming carve out a meaningful niche remains to be seen. What's clear is that the company continues to expand both its platform support and industry partnerships while betting that a growing audience of audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts is ready for a more premium approach to music streaming.
High End Vienna 2026 runs June 4 through June 7.
