| Music Server Recommendation @bbarden45 "Have you considered the Pink Faun music servers?"Been spending some time at their site. Very impressive devices an appear to be well built. You are seeing their cards being used in other products. I know Neal uses one of the cards in ... | |
| Music Server Recommendation I thought I would update everyone as to where I am currently. Below is my current short list (in current order of preference):Music Vault Ultra II 4TB ($5k) Custom built with I2s outputInnuous MKII Std 4TB ($6k or Used)Antipodes EX 4TB ($5k)Wolf ... | |
| Music Server Recommendation @audiotroy Maybe I am missing something but it is hard to believe a $400-$800 NAS (which based on other opinions is inherently noisy) would be better than a well designed server with onboard storage. You also seem to contradict your packet philos... | |
| Music Server Recommendation @audiotroy Hello. I know I don't "need" onboard storage. I want it. If you read my original spec I do not want to go down the NAS/attached drive path (right now). I'm also not sure I agree it will sound as good coming from a NAS over a network vs... | |
| Music Server Recommendation @audiotroy thanks. I need 4TB for my collection and future growth. Will be in touch if I go this way@thewolfaudio Thanks Joe. I'll keep an eye out for your new models and glad the 4TB can be added@koestner Looking for that one box device with storage | |
| Music Server Recommendation @david_ten "If you want to dive deeper into music servers, I recommend spending time over at Computer Audiophile" Good advice. I forgot about this site | |
| Music Server Recommendation I did get a price on the Innuous Zenith MKII Std from Old Forge Studio (CT) of $6k. A bit over budget. May have to look used if I select this unit or wait for it to come down. MKIII due out in July | |
| Music Server Recommendation @thewolfaudio Thanks for the links Joe. The Red Wolf is way out of my price range. Same with the Alpha (to bad you skipped over the 4TB option and go 2TB-6TB). Based on my budget it looks like I'm comparing The Cub to the competition | |
| Music Server Recommendation @david_ten Understood and thank you for the follow up information and your experience with the company. I will do additional research on them and keep them on the list. @ronrags I will take a look at Sound Science.Appreciate all the info | |
| Music Server Recommendation @jb0194 @david_ten SGC was on my original list but as @bbarden45 suggests - there is nothing available that outlines what goes into this unit. Website is more marketing/feature based. There isn't even a peak inside the unit. How much different is... | |
| Music Server Recommendation @bbarden45 Hadn't noticed that on the Wolf and very true on the Antipodes website. Clear & detailed. I have to do more work on the PF. Have at this point eliminated the N100H. Agree it doesn't seem worth the $3k over what I'm doing today. You ... | |
| Music Server Recommendation @bbarden45 Curious on what led you to that impression of the Wolf servers? | |
| Music Server Recommendation @ron17 I just got a price on the Innuous MK3 4TB at $6k. A little over what I want to spend. Good advice on the Mk2 and thanks for the contact.@bbarden45 haven't heard of them but will do some research | |
| Music Server Recommendation @mitch2 Would love to find a used Antipodes DX. Out of my price range new. Glad to hear your experience with Antipodes N America has been +@ricred1 I will keep an eye out for that one. Don't see many Antipodes hit the used market (probably due to ... | |
| Music Server Recommendation @dgarretson Thanks for the info and you make some good points. Still not sold on pivoting back to a NAS approach. That QNAP is $4-5k. And everyone I know that has a multi-box setup like the SOtM products is looking to simplify their rig. Excellen... |
