How exactly does a boutique outfit like Olive match its lowest-end
offering yet? Why, by announcing it's highest-end offering yet merely
two months later, of course! Sure enough, Olive has just issued its
newest music server (the O6HD) with an eye on affluent audiophiles --
ones willing to pay a meager $4,999 for a 2TB unit. Aside from buying
what's likely the most guapo piece of AV equipment we've ever seen,
that tally also nets you a pair of TI 192khz / 24-bit Burr-Brown
PCM1792 modules, "flawless" encoding and decoding of lossless audio,
simultaneous stream support, an ultra-quiet 2T AV hard drive, eight
layers of noise canceling padding, a TEAC CD-RW drive, gobs of analog
and digital outputs, a gigabit Ethernet jack, inbuilt 802.11n WiFi,
HDMI out, a USB 2.0 port and a 10.1-inch 800 x 480 color touchpanel.
It's all encased in a fine-grade aluminum shell (passively cooled),
leaving you with only one simple decision: silver or black, Sir Godfrey?
