Olive's 400GB Opus
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 12:00 PM
"Olive has announced the latest version of its latest high-end digital music separate, this time called the Opus and equipped with a 400GB hard drive - enough, the company claims, to hold 660 uncompressed CDs, 1,100 ripped using lossless compression, or 7,230 albums ripped to 128KBps MP3 files."
Not only does this have a ton of space, it has a bunch of toys built in. It appears to have some audiophile worthy components. I don't know what a "Texas Instruments Burr-Brown 24-bit digital-to-analogue converters with 8x oversampling fed by a separate temperature-compensated crystal oscillator" is, but it sure sounds impressive. :lol: It also has some very computer friendly features such as USB, 802.11 g, and a built-in four port switch. The only negative I can see is the $3,000 price tag.
