Olive 4HD review

Streaming music servers are opening up a whole new dimension in music availability

The sound is alluring with hi-res ; Nice design ; Great interface

Networking set-up is complicated

Allows the music fan to dispense with physical storage media and download their albums from the hi-res internet sites

Olive 4HD review

A fantastic piece of 21st-century hi-fi, this hard-disk music server delivers exceptional sound

Exceptional sound ; approachable and easy to use ; quality build and finish ; sheer value

It doesn't stream from iTunes - but that's not what it's really for anyway

This is 21st-century hi-fi: the Olive 4HD is superb to live with and listen to

Olive 4

Digital music server/streamer with large (500GB-2TB) internal hard drive for onboard storage; wirelessly streams music from networked PCs or Macs via integrated 802.11g or Ethernet connection; streams Internet radio stations; plays, rips, and burns...

No video output; no support for WMA files; no support for Rhapsody, Pandora, or other online music services; no support for WPA2 Wi-Fi security; doesn't play or burn MP3 CDs; can't play music from connected USB drives or portable players; no built-in...

The Olive 4 is a fantastic-sounding digital audio server, but its high price and limited feature list limit its appeal to die-hard audiophiles.
