Olive Media Inc has released this 4HD high-end music server. The 4HD looks similar to it’s predecessor, but this 2TB music server now features 24-bit sound and a 192kHz sample rate thanks to a Burr-Brown PCM1792A DAC, which will deliver about 250 times the resolution of a CD. The Olive 4HD comes with 2TB of storage, which is equivalent to 20,000 HD songs, or 6000 CDs.
As expected, a gigabit Ethernet port and 802.11n WiFi module are both included in order to get your machine on the home network, and a free iPhone / iPod touch application is available to give you full control via your handheld.
“To achieve the highest quality audio means recording at 24-bit,” said Chesky Records founder David Chesky. “CDs cannot reproduce what we capture from musicians during a recording session, and MP3 files degrade the quality even further. But with the Olive 4HD it is now possible to replicate the experience of that golden master recording at home, in full 24-bit.” Softpedia informed
