Professional Quality Audio Server

The S.Series is an all out assault on the music server category. Delivering audiophile sound, virtually unlimited storage, and a stunning industrial design, the S.Series is the ultimate music server.

The massive 60lb enclosure houses the most advanced circuitry available including professional level digital and analog signal paths. With up to 1.5 terabytes of memory, the S.Series can store more than 2,500 CDs in full fidelity WAV format, or more than 150,000 songs in MP3 format. Completing the design is a brushed aluminum finish that wraps the advanced technology with an elegance previously unseen in music servers.

With Serious Play Media Manager, ReQuest's easy-to-use user interface, the S.Series can be controlled from the ReQuest 15" Touchscreen or any internet connected computer allowing effortless navigation of your music collection by Title, Artist, Album, Genre or Playlist.

NetSync technology provides multi-location synchronization of music collections. Add an S.Series model to a second home or boat and the music collection is available to enjoy and manage in both locations automatically. Automatic backup can be performed with an echo or ARQive.

The S.Series seamlessly synchronizes to iTunes using NetSync for iTunes. With Automatic Dual Encoding the S.Series stores music in full fidelity WAV quality for the best sound at home, and also manages a copy in a lower bitrate MP3 format for streaming over the Internet or loading an entire collection to an iPod, phone, or portable music player.

Music collections are also available for playback on any internet connected computer. Simply log onto the server and stream music to any computer.
