Baetis Audio Reference Media Player / Streamer Baetis Reference Media Server, in excellent condition including quick-start manual, power supply, pure sine wave UPS and wireless keyboard/mouse combo. An incredibly well crafted, audiophile-grade media server with custom made audio components, Blu-ray disc drive and solid state internal storage. An incredible piece of hardware, only selling as frankly it's wasted on my very minimal stereo system and as 99% of my music, movies and videos are accessed via streaming services I'm simply not getting the benefits it can provide. It has always been trea
This A$3,595 asking price for the Baetis Audio Reference Media Player is a strong bargain, sitting well below the typical used market for this high-end server. Newer models like the Reference X2 launch at A$15,000 and the base Reference Server at A$11,400, while the older XR Music Server retails new at A$9,000; used pricing for the original Reference line typically ranges from A$5,000 to A$7,500, making this listing roughly 25–30% under the lower end of that range.
The Baetis Reference is well-regarded for its noise-free architecture and custom MDA™ software that delivers exceptional playback fidelity, often outperforming generic media PCs in hi-fi circles. At this price, the upside is significant: you’re securing a proven, original-owner unit that bypasses the steep depreciation of newer models while retaining the sonic DNA that made Baetis a reference standard. This is a buying opportunity for enthusiasts who value performance over brand-new packaging, assuming the listing includes power cable and original documentation.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sine is not a clearly verifiable hi-fi hardware brand in the usual sense. The search results point instead to a London-based audio post-production and sound design company called Sine Audio, operating from Fitzrovia and described as a high-end or boutique facility rather than a consumer-audio manufacturer.
Its focus is sound design and audio post-production for TV commercials, radio, and cinema, with an emphasis on end-to-end audio services from its studio rather than on products such as amplifiers, speakers, DACs, or headphones. The company is said to have been created by founder Phil Bolland, with Julian Marshall serving as MD.
In market terms, Sine appears to sit in the specialist boutique category: professional, premium, and service-led, but not a traditional hi-fi brand sold to consumers. If you were looking for a maker of home audio equipment, the available evidence does not support that identification with high confidence.
