ROGUE magazine from the Philippines has the following to say about the Olive O6HD

"Might be the most analog-sounding music server ever made. Take my word that it sounds fantastic!" Mehr erfahren

O6HD receives 2012 Editors' Choice Award from the absolute sound magazine

"The Olive O6HD is a turn-key music server that offers very high sound quality and a simple way of storing large amounts of music. If you want a very high-quality unit that does not involve fighting through a computer, this is an excellent choice!" Mehr erfahren

Sound & Vision

"Cool looks and high-res audio come together in Olive's 4HD. Its ability to handle high-res tracks means that audiophiles can experience music in that format, along with regular CDs that rivals the quality of the best standalone players. The 4HD is a compelling option for any music enthusiast, especially those with extensive collections." Mehr erfahren

What Hi-Fi?

"A great music server – and very nearly an excellent one." Mehr erfahren

HiFi News

"Olive promised to deliver a music server with sleeker operation, larger storage capacity, and truly audiophile performance. The Olive 4HD fulfills that promise, and more. The Olive 4HD is as delightful and stylish a piece of gear as I've brought home in a long time." Mehr erfahren

HiFi Choice

"Serving up a treat. Ultimately this born-in-the-USA server manages to produce a sound that will be instantly familiar to British audiophiles. It has fine musical communication skills that we value so highly here in Blighty. There is no doubt that the Olive 4HD certainly deserves Premier League status." Mehr erfahren

Digital Trends

"We haven’t encountered a digital music system that’s elegant, well thought out, and better-sounding than this." Mehr erfahren

STEREO

"Einer wie keiner" Mehr erfahren

Bridging the Gap

"This is the age of distractions for audio buffs, what with high-resolution, lossless and compressed formats jostling for attention. All these can be delivered to your hi-fi system via the Internet, your computer and a USB-equipped digital-to-analog converter. The hi-fi fraternity is in two minds, though. Shun the computer or ride the tide to explore brave new worlds? Or is there a halfway house?" Mehr erfahren

«A Modern Art»

"Olive 4HD has a satisfying sound that embodies naturalness of vocals and a wide dynamic range. On the whole, high-resolution audio tracks had perfect resolution and tonal balance. However, this is not to say that records at 16-bit audio and 44 kHz were lacking anything. The new Olive 4HD is characterized by excellent sound quality and stable operating system. You don’t need a PC for your collection of digital recordings; Olive 4HD can play music from its internal hard disc and external networked music and also acts as audio server for other network audio players." Mehr erfahren

"Olive 4HD" Mehr erfahren

The Audiophiliac

"I listened to a number of CD/4HD comparisons and came away a believer. The 4HD sounded "less digital," cleaner, and just better than the original CDs. The difference in clarity was the single most impressive improvement hard drive replay offered." Mehr erfahren

Image Hifi Magazine

Home Entertainment

"Olive's new 4HD audio system features a 2-terabyte hard drive, can play back high-resolution audio files up to 24/bit/192Khz and is a worthy upgrade of the company's 4 model, according to this review. The trade-off, of course, is price: The 4HD version, which sells for a shade under $2,000, is $200 to $500 more expensive than the 4 unit." Mehr erfahren

"October 2008 - Olive Opus Nº4 and Melody Nº2. Both Olive and Sonos excel at streaming different songs to different rooms, but the advantage of the silver Olive Opus Nº4's CD drive and massive hard drive is the ability to rip and store music in high fidelity digital formats that make MP3s sound like eight tracks.
