Cocktail Audio

X50Pro

Introduced 2018$5,000 MSRP

The Cocktail Audio X50Pro is a reference-tier all-in-one digital music server that combines a network streamer, CD ripper/player, and RAID-capable internal storage with an ultra-low phase-noise clock and a quad-core ARM processor, designed to pair with an external DAC and amplifier rather than including its own DAC (Cocktail Audio official; Nexus Acoustics). It is aimed at audiophiles who want to rip, store, and stream large hi-res collections from a single reference-class box (Audiocostruzioni).
