mu-se

Music server incl. CD drive for ripping, internal SSD and audio interfaces

Product description

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.

Equipment and information

Flexibility and sustainability

Above all, however, this guarantees you a high degree of sustainability for the future. Because even the hardware is designed in such a way that the pure IT components can be easily customised in the future.

SSD

Internal 4TB solid-state disc as data storage for your own music library. This storage offers sufficient space even for very large music collections, including many high-resolution music files.

EMC-compliant design

The purely digital playback device is actually more IT technology than audio technology. This means that almost any computer can be used as a playback device. For this purpose, our converters also offer the option of connecting via USB inputs.
