INTERNAL STRUCTURE

Linear PSU, Custom Linux, FPGA Audio

The WLS combines a few key elements for server-based digital audio playback: a linear power supply,a low TDP computing system running custom Linux,a highly efficient FPGA / DSP systemfor audio management.

SOFTWARE AND USER SCENARIOS

DSD 512 Hardware Upsampling, Direct Core Audio

The WLS will manage to transcode between formats on hardware level,without overloading the CPU.Therefore, it’s heat and RFI emissions will stay low, without bad influence on audio circuitry.

The WLS has the ability to let you choose from a variety of server software and audio services including Roon, MPD, LMS and so on. There are many use scenarios, the device can be used as core, or can be used as renderer or endpoint.

STORAGE

Full Drive Management

Wavelight Server was designed to host your music. From a basic 2TB to a maximum of 16TB of internal storage, it can keep internally thousands of music albums in high-quality, uncompressed format. Additionally, WLS has 3 USB ports, where you can connect external storage, and/or a NAS (Network Attached Storage) can be defined as music source for WLS.

CONTROL INTERFACE

Android App, iOS App, Web Interface

The WLS has a powerful control interface that can be accessed via local browser or control app. It allows the owner to manage internal or attached storage, select active software or services, select upsampling or transcoding parameters, select I2S output setting for DAC compatibility, rip cd’s to local drives, enable room correction etc.

WLS is fully upgradable and future-proof. Both operating system with services and FPGA (audio hardware) can be easily updatable via internet.
