Awarded: Audiokey Reviews Best of 2023
Elevate your audio experience with the Rhein Z1 Plus, Silent Angel’s high-performance evolution of the acclaimed Rhein Z1. Certified MQA-ready, this music server delivers breathtaking playback with support for DSD512 and PCM up to 768kHz. Featuring dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, advanced noise reduction, and multi-player output for up to 10 endpoints, the Z1 Plus is the ultimate choice for audiophiles seeking pristine, high-resolution streaming in a cutting-edge package.
Unmatched Sound, Unrivaled Versatility
Hi-Res Mastery: Supports DSD512 playback and PCM 768kHz via USB Audio, with Roon DSP transcoding up to DSD256.
Dual Ethernet Ports: One for network stability, one for audio purity, ensuring a disturbance-free environment.
Precision TCXO Clocks: Dual 25MHz clocks minimize latency and jitter for seamless, crystal-clear playback.
Multi-Player Streaming: Powers up to 10 audio endpoints simultaneously with flawless synchronization.
MQA Certified: Unlocks the full potential of Master Quality Authenticated audio.
Engineered for Audiophile Excellence
The Z1 Plus blends masterful craftsmanship with innovative technology:
Robust Aluminum Chassis: 6061 alloy shields against vibration, dust, and noise, with a fanless design for silent operation.
Graphene & Copper Cooling: Advanced heat dissipation keeps the CPU and SSD cool, reducing noise and enhancing performance.
EMI Noise Reduction: High-permeability absorbers (>120@1MHz) and specialized shielding eliminate interference.
High-Performance Hardware: Intel Quad-core J6413 CPU, up to 32GB DDR4 RAM, and NVMe SSD (250GB or 4TB) ensure lightning-fast operation.
External Clock Input: 25MHz port pairs perfectly with the Genesis GX Word Clock, with an internal/external selector switch.
Seamless Streaming and Control
Versatile Connectivity: USB Audio, Type-C, USB 3.1/2.0 ports, and dual 1GbE Ethernet for expansive setup options.
VitOS Manager App: Configure settings, install add-ons (Roon Server, Spotify Connect, DLNA), import/back up files, and update firmware from your mobile device.
Streaming Flexibility: Acts as a Roon Core, Roon Bridge, DLNA server/renderer, HQPlayer NAA, or Orbiter player.
Local Storage Power: Manage up to 4TB of music files with ease, from SSD, NAS, or external drives.
Why Z1 Plus Stands Out
Compared to the original Z1, the Z1 Plus offers a leap forward: a more powerful CPU, dual TCXO clocks, enhanced USB Audio output, and double the Ethernet ports. It’s a complete solution for transporting, transcoding, and streaming high-fidelity audio—whether you’re enjoying DSD masterpieces or curating a multi-room setup.
