If you ever wondered what a Slingbox would look similar to if it were hewn from aluminum instead of plastic, here it is: The 06HD from Olive, a 2TB music-server that expenses – wait for for it – $5000.
That price-tag says a thing: audiophile. And the 06HD is of course audiophile-buzzword compliant, from its Burr-Brown 24-bit PCM1792 DACs (two of them is to periodic output, in addition to a well-defined DAC is to headphones) to its stabilized, noise-free power-supply. It moreover has a touch-screen ( using the "latest glass-on-glass technology") for navigation and artwork, and a TV-hookup for a incomparable manifestation when remote tranquil using an iOS device.
But $5,000? It does at least have a 2TB drive, ready to agree to CDs copied (not ripped) from its own CD-player, and surely a considerable suit of that cost may be apportioned to the anti-vibration feet, something indeed necessary in a appurtenance that uses solid-state electronics. Part of your money probably moreover goes to pay is to sketch of two hands keeping the just-carved headstock of a violin, that illustrates the "Hand-Built in the USA" division of the blurb.
If you're an audiophile with low pockets, and are still keeping onto your CD gathering since MP3s sound so damn bad, then go ahead. Olive moreover creates a few cheaper servers, and even a multi-room player that will lamp your song via your home for "just" $600 (and with usually 802.11g Wi-Fi). Available for pre-order now.
