In adition the I2S output, USB, AES/EBU, SPDIF, and optical output (Toslink) are available.FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUTSWLS resolves a few important aspects of a modern audio setup. It virtually eliminates the need for a computer holding your core server; will eliminate the need for a strong CPU to perform PCM to DSD transcoding; and eliminate the need for a storage server. All these features are included into a sleek and stylish package, visually matching the Wavelight DAC.INTERNAL STRUCTUREThe WLS combines a few key elements for server-based digital audio playback: a linear power supply, a low TDP computing system running custom Linux, a highly efficient FPGA / DSP system for audio management.SOFTWARE AND USER SCENARIOSThe WLS will manage to transcode between formats on hardware level, without overloading the CPU. Therefore, it’s heat and RFI emissions will stay low, without bad influence on audio circuitry.The WLS has the ability to let you choose from a variety of server software and audio services including Roon, MPD, LMS and so on. There are many use scenarios, the device can be used as core, or can be used as renderer or endpoint.STORAGEWavelight Server was designed to host your music. From a basic 2TB to a maximum of 16TB of internal storage, it can keep internally thousands of music albums in high-quality, uncompressed format. Additionally, WLS has 3 USB ports, where you can connect external storage, and/or a NAS (Network Attached Storage) can be defined as music source for WLS.CONTROL INTERFACEThe WLS has a powerful control interface that can be accessed via local browser or control app. It allows the owner to manage internal or attached storage, select active software or services, select upsampling or transcoding parameters, select I2S output setting for DAC compatibilty, rip cd’s to local drives, enable room correction etc.WLS is fully upgradable and future-proof. Both operating system with services and FPGA (audio hardware) can be easily updatable via internet.HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONSServer side: 2/4 core low power CPU, 8GB RAM, 2TB – 16TB storageAudio engine: AMD 7 series FPGAClock system: 2 x CCHD957 clocksPower supply: linear, 2 x toroidal transformersOutputs: I2S, AES/EBU, SPDIF, TOSLINK, USB(no upsampling on USB)Input: Ethernet(LAN)SOFTWARE SPECIFICATIONSInitial releaseRoon coreMPD coreUpnp rendererRoon Ready/BridgeAirplayOpenHomeHqplayer NAAUpcoming:LMS coreCD RippingRoom correction softwareDirect streaming servicesRadios
