K50
Introduced 2020$19,000 MSRP
The Antipodes K50 is the New Zealand brand's flagship one-box music server, streamer, and reclocker, built around three physically and electrically isolated computing modules — one for server duties, one for player/playback, and one dedicated reclocker — housed in a heavily partitioned chassis to prevent internal noise cross-contamination (hifi-advice.com). It runs a dedicated Fedora Linux OS on an Intel i7 processor with 16GB RAM and supports virtually every playback pathway including Roon, Squeeze, HQPlayer, and MinimServer (Stereophile).
