Antipodes K50 Music Server


The full-width Antipodes K50 is our latest advance of the state of the art in digital audio, and fully implements the new technologies delivered by the Antipodes OLADRA Project. Refinement, dimensionality, dynamics, timbre and resolution are exceptional. The Antipodes K50 gets out of the way to let you fully experience the emotional impact of the original recording.

The Antipodes K50 integrates three separately powered and isolated computation engines:

  • A high power engine to enable Server Apps to effortlessly handle a huge music library, re-assemble internet streams to recover the original file’s sound quality, handle DSP features without loss of quality, and to serve the cleanest possible stream to the Player App. The Server stage runs apps like Roon Server, Squeeze Server, HQPlayer Server, Minimserver, MiniDLNA, SONOS Server and PLEX Server.
  • An advanced player engine to run the selected Player App to provide exceptional USB Audio output and to feed the Reclocker. The Player runs Player Apps compatible with your chosen Server App, such as Roon Player, Squeeze Player, HQPlayer NAA and MPD.
  • An all-new fully-isolated reclocking engine to provide exceptional S/PDIF, AES3 and I2S digital outputs.
  • The K50 integrates the Local Server, Player & Reclocker Stages of a computer audio solution. The K50 also offers an exceptional USB Audio output if you choose to use the Reclocker stage in your DAC
