Olive has just released the Olive 4HD, a music server that features an internal 2TB drive that can hold up to 20,000 HD audio tracks or 6,000 CD-quality songs. Olive puts a lot of premium into sound quality though, and the 4HD is specced for audiophiles, with a high resolution digital to analog converter (Texas Instruments’ 192khz, 24-bit Burr-Brown PCM1792A DAC) for clear highs and lows.
The 4HD also comes with a TEAC CD-R/RW drive that allows for CD recording, and a colored 4.3-inch wide touchscreen LCD at the front for displaying song info and album art.
A number of connectivity options are present on the 4HD, including standard RCA analog and S/PDIF digital, and a USB port for connecting external sources and IR receivers. It’s also network-compatible, able to connect to the home network through wired LAN or Wi-fi 802.11n, and supports the usual digital audio formats, including WAV, FLAC, MP3 and AAC.
The Olive 4HD is available now for $2,000.
