"We even compared SACDs to CDs (of the same title) ripped to the 4HD. Again in this test, the 4HD's clarity trumped SACD's." En savoir plus

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." En savoir plus

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." En savoir plus

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?" En savoir plus

«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." En savoir plus

"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." En savoir plus
