SOLD: Audiostore Prestige 2 server 1TB SSD - SonicOrbiter OS - UK version of SonicTransporter - preBridged with dual ethernet ports - price reduced to only £550

[BigAlMc]

I'm finally getting around to selling my previous server. Details below.

 

Full disclosure: This unit stopped working (I couldn't get to to power back up after reinstalling Roon) and was repaired under warranty by the manufacturer - Martin Smith of Vortexbox UK. It's now working perfectly but just want to be upfront about the history and I have of course factored this into the bargain price.

 

Willing to ship only within Europe. Apologies to those outwith Europe.

 

Model - Audiostore Prestige 2

Specifications:

 

Martin installed my Samsung 850 Evo TB from a previous server I owned.

 

XL performance with 8 GB RAM (for DSP in Roon)

 

OS: SonicOrbiter system with Roon & LMS players

 

19v DC input

 

PreBridged Ethernet ports (1 in from LAN and 1 out to End-Point or DAC) to allow you to skip the potentially noise introducing switch in sending music to the DAC (as per the Novel Way thread on this forum)

 

 

A great low noise server for sending music either directly to a DAC to to an end-point like the SMS-200Ultra or UltraRendu etc.

 

Server cost £1,128 and the Samsung SSD originally cost £258. I therefore think that £700 is VERY, VERY fair given the history and age. (I bought it in July 2017).

 

There is no box and no cables other than the stock power cable.

 

I do also have an Sbooster 19V power supply that I used to power it. Willing to include it for an additional £150 if the buyer wants a better LPS for it.

Thanks for reading.

Forgot to mention that the Audiostore Prestige is essentially the UK version of the highly regarded SonicTransporter servers that Andrew Gillis produces in the US. Same OS and specifications.
