Olive Unveils the 4HD Hi-Fi Music Server

Olive Media today announced the new 4HD Hi-Fi Music Server for home stereo systems. The 4HD not only plays your music, but can rip and store your media onto its two terabyte hard drive. Music can also be copied to the Olive 4HD via your computer through its wireless or wired network connection. The music reproduction is handled through Olive's DAC, and is said to match the 24-bit sound and 192 kHz sample rate used in recording studios.

To use, connect the Olive 4HD directly to a stereo receiver. Music libraries are then navigated through the touchscreen or on a TV via HDMI. A free iPhone/iPod touch app is also available so you can control the 4HD from your iPhone.

The 4HD Hi-Fi Music Server is available from Olive for $1,999. It includes 12 of Chesky Records' best HD tracks for free.
