The DA converter, which converts the digital music data into “real” analogue music, is the key element that determines the sound in a modern music system. However, this also requires a suitable playback device for this digital music data. Whether for music from your own library or streamed from the Internet.
A streamer, network player or music server is now some form of computer, and this has the greatest sonic impact due to its “operating noise” in the form of sound-damaging high-frequency interference, which every computer always generates. In contrast to conventional computers, our mu-se music server is already designed to be consistently EMC-compliant due to its design and the components used. This means that the mu-se produces very little of the high-frequency interference that normally occurs and is therefore the perfect feed for the ACOUSENCE dac-pre DA converter preamplifier.
The mu-se therefore focuses on the hardware to create the ideal conditions for unclouded musical enjoyment. On the software side, however, there are so many different ways and preferences of different users today that we are focussing on the greatest possible flexibility here. There are various basic setups, e.g. as a Roon server. Depending on customer requirements, other environments can also be pre-installed (e.g. Logitech Mediaserver, J.River, Euphony, Volumio, even Windows and any software based on it). Integrated file management including CD ripping is always included, as is web-based control via your tablet or smartphone.
