The HD Reference 3 Special Edition (HD.Ref-3) is a state of the art, high definition, reference music server transport. It's modeled after the major label recording studio servers we've seen in today's digital recording set-ups. The Ref-3 is designed to be paired with a USB capable digital to analog converter (DAC) for the best possible performance. There are no left and right "RCA analog outputs" like a CD player. This digital computer transport is specifically designed to be used with a DAC.
We have offered a true reference server unmatched by any current computer music server available today. There's a SOtM USB PCI digital audio output card. We supply your server with 32 GB of RAM, 512 GB of Solid State storage as well as a Blu-Ray Rom drive. You can upgrade to 1TB of SSD storage via a RAID configuration as well. We feel our Ref-3 is substantially better than ANYTHING currently available. The HD Ref-3 is a true Giant Killer at a decent price. The current music server competition just doesn't stand a chance!
If you're not convinced, check out our specs below and then check the competition's top model specs (if they'll even tell you what they are). We've outdone ALL of them by at least a factor of 3. Specs aren't everything and we're well aware of that. We use specs only as a GUIDE to base our comparisons on and use our ears to make the final decision. Either way, we think you'll appreciate our hard work and extensive testing especially once you hear one.
Remember, the YFS HD Ref-3 is totally custom! If you want a feature added or deleted, it's no problem. We'll make the unit exactly to your spec. We'll price the unit according to the options you want.
