ANTIPODES KALA K50-G4 high-end music server/streamer w 2TB SSD

Marketing on behalf of a fastidious client, a world-leading, Antipodes KALA K50-G4 (latest version) music server c/w 2TB SSD for awesome music presentation to enhance your system, presented in excellent condition c/w original box etc.

The KALA 50-G4 (latest version) heads the KALA Series, adapting the technology used in the Oladra to deliver many of its strengths at a more affordable price level. Timbral accuracy and natural musical flow are its main sonic strengths, allowing it to effortlessly reveal the sheer beauty of music.

Stereophile review conclusion:
The Antipodes K50 music server distinguished itself as the finest-sounding music server ever to grace my system. Image size and weight, color saturation, bass control, and transparency were the best my system has ever delivered. Listening was the most enjoyable and rewarding I've ever experienced at home. That is cause for celebration. As I don my party hat, the sonic rewards they deliver are profound. Our measurements can't reveal why one server sounds better than another; you'll have to take my word for it or listen for yourself”…..… Jason Victor Serinus.
