Available information identifies it as using an energy-efficient Intel Core i5 quad-core processor, 16 GB of RAM, a 250 GB SSD for the operating system and control software, and a Western Digital 3 TB My Cloud storage system configured for automatic duplication. It includes a Blu-ray optical drive for CD ripping and DVD playback, with Blu-ray playback available with optional software. The server is described as supporting arbitrary audio sample rates and DSD, and as having an upgraded USB output intended for low-jitter connection to a USB DAC. It includes a lifetime Roon subscription, network connectivity, multiple USB ports, eSATA, video outputs, and optical S/PDIF. The available manufacturer information does not publish a complete electrical-performance datasheet, DAC-chip specification, supported DSD rates, output jitter, or detailed file-format list.
