The tiny S30 is our entry level music server, focused on musical expression. It employs our V6X computing engine to perform both Server and Player functions.
This is the same platform as we use in the K50 to perform just the Player function. The S30 also has the same full range of playback apps installed as the K50 and Oladra.
The S30 has 8GB of RAM installed, users can easily install one SSD (up to 8TB) for music storage, and provides a USB Audio output to play to the USB input on a DAC. The S30 is powered by a standard external SMPS brick. A basic analog audio output is included, so that you can add a USB DAC later.
Using the S30 as both Server and Player means it does not have the computational power to be used with a large music library (more than 8TB), and it is not advisable to use demanding server functions like DSP.
