Rhein Z1 (with Spotify Connect) + Audio System

 

Major enhancements

• The Rhein Z1 Roon Core with hardware explicitly designed for the HiFi music direct stream.

​

• Mobile phones work as a control panel, seamless user experience integration.

​

• Remote control with Spotify connects even you are not at home.

VitOS Architecture Enhancement for Spotify Connect.

Spotify Certified
Spotify Connect module is Spotify provided and Certified.

​High-End Music Buffer
VitOS in Rhein Z1 allocates 512MB high capacity 530MB/s ultra-fast SSD storage for Spotify music buffering.

​Direct and Highly Stable Music Path
Rhein Z1 directly gets music streaming data from the Spotify streaming server. Music data are also buffered in Rhein Z1 and output to USB DAC through a highly stable path:

VitOS USB Audio Optimizer

USB DAC

​

The VitOS Network Accelerator and VitOS USB Audio Optimizer provide the short and highly stable path for the music data from Spotify to pass and process to the USB DAC. The VitOS has measured  25% more durable than a generic Linux system. Meanwhile, VitOS Task Manager protects the high.

 

 

Rhein Z1 Music Server of Craftmanship

Focus on extracting and purifying the essence of music

Feel the sense of digital music, let the music fully restore the live effect and make you be on the scene!

 

Custom Built Motherboard for Audio

Rhein Z1 has a customized and dedicated motherboard for audio usage. Low noise for high-quality music playback, shortest data path make smoother and purer data transmission possible. It consumes less power and introduces less noise on power rails to ensure more stable USB and network signals. The independent USB AUDIO dedicated circuit makes USB AUDIO processing isolated and gets less interference. As a result, data transmission is more stable and jitter during data transmission reduction.

 

Ultra-Low CPU Power Consumption

The intel mobile series CPU consumes ultra-low power consumption (as low as 6W) to reduce electrical noise from the CPU, make the signal inside Rhein Z1 more stable, and prevent affecting audio devices nearby.

 

Over Designed Powerboard

Customized and over-designed power board, capable of 160W output while Rhein Z1 only requires 40W, provides sufficient power to the motherboard and SSD.

 

High-Quality Chassis made of Aerospace Industrial Grade Aluminum Alloy with CNC Processing

Compact and ingenious industrial design make Rhein Z1 an artwork with a fan-less design that makes no mechanical noise.

Patented Structure Design

The groove structure design has the feature of reducing signal interference, standardizing the line direction and placement. The design has obtained Chinese patent certification.

 

High Permeability EMI Absorber

Furthermore, to eliminate high-frequency electrical noise from digital circuits, Rhein Z1 uses a specially chosen EMI absorber at the inner side of the bottom case to absorb EMI noise from an internal digital circuit DRAM, CPU, …, and so on.

 

Silent Angel Select High-Quality Cable and Wires

Rhein Z1 used carefully chosen high-quality cable and wires in the power button signal, power LED signal, SATA power and SATA to get a more stable signal and get less electrical noise emission during signal and the power transmission signal.

 

ED and Power Button Signal

​Teflon coated ​silver-plated wires are suitable for connecting electrical equipment and instrument lines under high-temperature conditions and high voltage up to 600V. It features high-temperature resistance, aging resistance, acid and alkali resistance, moisture resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, corrosion resistance, flame retardant and other properties.

 

SATA Power Wires

Ordinary copper wire on the upper side: The copper wire crystal is irregularly crystallized, and the conductivity is poor. As a result, it generates more electrical noise while power loading varies when accessing SSD. Rhein Z1 uses OFC copper wire as SATA power wires: The copper wire crystal is evenly distributed by the high-temperature hot casting mode continuous casting method. The current conduction is good and introduces less electrical noise. In contrast, power loading varies during the system is accessing SSD.

 

Server Grade SATA Cable

The server-grade SATA cable is optimized to ensure the stability of the signal transmission by having the irregular distribution of the SATA cable in the foam layer is easy to generate a telecommunications periodic magnetic field, which affects the signal transmission quality. Also, it uses durable SATA connectors at both ends to ensure the best quality of connectivity.

 

Built-in Exclusive Audio SSD ( Optional)

The special designed exclusive audio SSD features fast access speed, low power consumption, good anti-noise, and stronger anti-interference. It effectively ensures the stability of the output signal, better output data stability, introduces different listening enjoyment and experience for you, and brings more fidelity to music.

 

Efficient VitOS Operating System

The Rhein Z1 features a VitOS operating system designed for music servers that focuses on streaming services. VitOS improves machine efficiency, performance stability and network latency issues.

 

VitOS An operating system specially built for a music server.

1. Dual Firmware: Prevent from being damaged while firmware upgrade.

2. Network accelerator: Accelerated network processing

3. USB Audio Optimizer: Optimized USB Audio processing

4. Task Manager: High-efficiency task management

5. Application Manager: Able to expand more and more applications.

6. System Manager: Event-trigger design gets the lowest system loading.

 

Mobile app for VitOS: VitOS Manager Features

DSD Support

Please noted that DAC supports DSD with “DSD Native” required to play DSD music up to DSD256 smoothly.

If your DAC supports DSD with “DoP” (DSD over PCM) mode, then the Rhein Z1 only support – DSD music up to DSD64 (which means DSD128 or DSD256 is not supported in DoP mode).
