Using HySolid and JPlay combination is a great addition to the exceptional sound quality that AudioPhil's AudiophileOptimizer already produces on Windows Server 2016. Which in my estimation outshines Windows Server 2012 R2 for audio sound qualities. AudiophileOptimizer 2.20 beta 4 with Windows Server 2016 Core is just wonderful to sit and listen to what computer audio as a transport has achieved.

Dear valued Readers We'd like to proudly inform you about the new SOtM flagship product, the sMS-1000SQ Windows Edition with AudiophileOptimizer & Roon and take the chance to start the official thread in coordination with SOtM Audio and Chris Connaker. The SOtM sMS-1000SQ Windows Edition is a joint-venture between SOtM Audio & Highend-AudioPC. For this high-end music server we are using the already well-known SOtM sMS-1000SQ hardware and combine it with Windows Server 2012 R2 and our AudiophileOptimizer 2.00. We combined the excellent hardware of SOtM Audio with all the know-how about Windows Server and audio high-end audio optimization of ourselves to create a "ready-to-run" high-end music server. What came out in the end is truly spectacular! The Music Server comes with Windows Server 2012 R2 (Essentials Edition) as well as AudiophileOptimizer 2.00 pre-installed and pre-licensed. All Updates & RollUps of Windows Server are already installed as of July 2016. RoonServer is pre-installed as well as TIDAL, Foobar200, Qobuz, etc. On top of that the "AudiophileShell" is included as bonus.
