NuForce MSR-1 Sonata Edition

The new MSR-1 Music Server features exactly what you would want in a CD playback system, whether you are an ardent classical fan or a follower of modern rock or ambient.

The standard touch screen interface (available on either 7", 15" or 17" options - not included) gives you full playback and ripping control. The interface is both intuitive and simple. We installed on our network and ripped over 20CD's perfectly without even consulting the manual. We would not recomend this to the end user, we at HIAudio have been into data streaming for nearly a decade All users should study the manual before installing. Once you have it installed you will see the software from DigiBit is a work or art in its simplicity and reliability unlike its competitors.

Playback is smooth and what you would expect from NuForce quite superb. Outputs come via two sets of RCA connections and a coaxial digital spdif, giving you the potential of 2 zones (1 analogue pair is shared with the spdif).

The NuForce Music Server is a customized computer that offers some superb benefits as standard: An easy-to-use, feature-rich Interface permitting access via Remote Control with Monitor Out, Touch Screen Monitor, iPod Touch, or Web (available June 2009). Superbly accurate CD-ripping software in FLAC File format.

A Perfect Metadata feature permitting access to five cover-art databases: iGD3, GD3 Symphony (for classical), SonataDB (for classical), FreDB and MusicBrainz. Typically, other music servers perform just one database function. NuForce’s unique Classical Metadata Tags permit additional, more precisely focused searches.

An Open System with Remote Support for software updates (requires a service contract).

Ideally, an quality music server serves as a key component in a high-end audio system. It should perform the aforementioned functions flawlessly – and do nothing more. The NuForce Music Server Sonata Edition transmits digital data with state-of-the-art accuracy to an external DAC thereby allowing the end-user to flexibility to acquire best-of-breed components for the last word in recorded sound. End users with large digital-music collections will want to establish a home-network NAS in order to provide easy and reliable access to his or her music library.
