antipodes audio

Antipodes – of tegenvoeters zoals de Nieuw Zeelanders wel eens genoemd worden hebben met hun streamers en muziek servers een duidelijk statement gemaakt wat betreft muziekweergave.

Bijna 20 jaar geleden begon Mark Jenkins met het bouwen van audio computers… Toen was het grote verschil dat ze er beter uitzagen als gewone computers. Nu maken ze hoog technologische audio servers met geoptimaliseerde voedingen, specifieke processoren en operating systems die afgestemd zijn op de muziekliefhebber die het beste uit streaming en opgeslagen media wil halen.

De productie gebeurd met oog voor milieu en waar kan recycleren ze, produceren met energie die opgewerkt is door zonnepanelen op hun productieplant en gebruiken een warmtepomp en windmolen om hun ecologische afdruk zo minimaal mogelijk te maken. Iets waar we bij Very Fine Solutions erg om geven.

Daarom zijn we blij dat we deze producten, als agent voor de BeNeLux kunnen toevoegen aan onze portfolio, in samenwerking met Sound & Colors Frankrijk.

The OLADRA

World’s Best Music Server-Streamer: Experience Every Note with Pure Emotion.

1 2

Description

The Oladra is a visual metaphor for the beauty of music, with its strong form and structure, and yet sensuous flowing lines, curves and fine nuance.

The Oladra is designed to be the world’s best music server-streamer, in the way that music played through it makes you feel. Presenting how real musicians sound in real spaces allows the music’s message to get through with all of its potency.

Experience your favourite music as if for the first time – communicating all of the artistry and passion that created each performance.

Design

The Oladra employs premium parts throughout and multiple computing and processing stages.

The Oladra uses a unique custom computer optimised for Server Apps and another optimised for Player Apps.

Multiple cascaded processing stages then create a signal with high-bandwidth and virtually zero noise below the bitrate, which ensures that the timing of binary data transitions are precisely defined. That is crucial to enabling the Oladra’s ultra-stable clocking circuits to transmit a clean and precisely clocked signal to your DAC.

The KALA 50

The KALA 50 heads the KALA Series, adapting the technology used in the Oladra to deliver many of its strengths at a more affordable price level. Timbral accuracy and natural musical flow are its main sonic strengths, allowing it to effortlessly reveal the sheer beauty of music.

Prepare for some long late-night sessions, because this level of musicality is going to engross you in every performance.

An alternative to the KALA 50 is the identically priced KALA 41+22 combo, offering the same electronics in two separate cases, enabling further optimisation via power cord and Ethernet link choices. If USB is your preferred output then the lower-priced KALA 41+21 combo offers the same performance, without the clocked synchronous outputs.

The KALA 41

The KALA 41 provides exceptional quality network streaming and direct streaming for direct connection to your DAC, or to a K21 or K22.

Conventional wisdom often underestimates how critical it is to have a server device that is specifically designed for high-end audio. The server has to turn a stored file, or a chaotic network stream, into a well-timed digital audio stream, requiring large power and memory reserves at the same time as very low noise interference.

The role it performs cannot be done by a standard computer or by your DAC without serious loss of fidelity and musical insight.

The KALA 41 is a critical digital audio source that adds layers of musical insight for any downstream player or streamer.

The KALA 22

The KALA 22 is an incredible performer at its price, delivering levels of musical insight not found in most price-no-object music server-streamers. It even gets very close to the performance of the amazing KALA 50 provided you do not require it to house a very large library, or to perform DSP functions.

If your priority is to be immersed in gorgeous sound and feel the emotional pull of your music, then the KALA 22 will delight you.

The KALA 22 cannot run the HQPlayer Server App, but it does support HQPlayer NAA. All other apps in our software suite are supported, with the exception of the DSP features within the apps.

The KALA 21

The KALA 21 is an incredible performer at its price, delivering levels of musical insight not found in most price-no-object music server-streamers. It even gets very close to the performance of the amazing KALA 50 via USB, provided you do not require it to house a very large library, or to perform DSP functions.

If your priority is to be immersed in gorgeous sound and feel the emotional pull of your music, then the KALA 21 will delight you.
