Introduction
INTRODUCING
the Baetis Reference Media Server – the world’s only media
computer with a dedicated, galvanically isolated, and fully shielded
AES/EBU output straight off the motherboard using no PCI card or USB
bus!! We employ a new, proprietary circuit board ("daughter-board") that
transforms the SPDIF signal from the motherboard to AES, and, most
importantly:
- Improves the quality of the digital wave form on the oscilloscope;
- Boosts voltage (amplitude) without the noise associated with a separate power input; and
- Reduces rise time.
The Baetis Reference is specifically designed for the world’s very best DACs.
You must hear the difference if you are a dealer or owner of a dCS® Vivaldi,
CH Precision®, Berkeley Reference®, EMM DAC2X®, Esoteric D-02®, Light Harmonic®,
MSB Diamond®, Audio Research Reference®, Soulution® 560, or DAC of similar quality.
No music server, no matter how expensive, sounds as good for
two channel highest definition audio. Just ask the dealers or clients
who have compared the Baetis Reference with the very highest-dollar
servers out there, using the very best speakers, dacs, amps, and cables.
For example, Magico® used the Baetis Reference in their room
at the 2015 CES and 2016 CES. Plus, the Baetis Reference has all the
same multi-channel, video, and DSP features, if you wish to use them, as
in our XR series.
Multi-channel processors that are good enough to use our
Reference Baetis for two-channel audio include: Classe® SSP-800,
McIntosh® MX151, and Anthem® D2v 3D.
Only the Anthem and McIntosh units among these top
processors have a 2-channel AES input in XLR form for use by the Baetis
Reference.
The Baetis Reference series, including the Reference, are sold
through Baetis Reference Dealers or Demonstrators who have the
necessary knowledge and, most of all, the quality showrooms that will
allow you to hear the difference.
Today, the Front End is as important as the speakers!! If
there is no dealer in your area, call our Joe for an in-home trial.
