Description

The Antipodes K50 underwent a full 2023 transformation with G4 Oladra technology, sharpening treble, deepening bass, and opening up the mid-range with none of the strain that lesser digital sources introduce. The result is immersive, no-compromise music playback from a high-powered Server engine that has made the K50 Antipodes’ best-selling model ‚ and one that keeps improving, because it’s upgradable.

Like every K-Series and Oladra server, the K50 runs three dedicated processing engines rather than one computer trying to do it all. The Server engine manages your files and streaming services, streaming directly to the Player stage, straight to your DAC, or over your network to other streamers. The Player engine hands off to the Re-clocker or outputs via USB Audio 2.0 compliant connection. The Re-clocker engine plays to your DAC over S/PDIF, AES3, or I2S — native DSD to DSD512 and PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz over USB, or 32-bit/384kHz over I2S.

Fair Audio summed it up best: “The Antipodes K50 really did represent the best sounding music server I’ve yet hosted.” Every K50 is housed in a precision-machined solid aluminum chassis and can be upgraded toward Oladra-level performance as your system — and budget — grow.

Available in Silver or Black, backed by a 3-year warranty (extendable to 5 years with product registration).
