Olive blesses Opus No. 4 music server with 2TB of space, charges $1,799 for it

With movies being all the rage, I guess Olive is trying to capitalize on the ever dwindling music-only systems. The thing looks slick, but $1800 for this device is pretty ridiculous considering a $200 linux server can do most of this.

As with the models that have come before, this ultra high-end music server packs loads of internal storage (2TB if you’re counting), giving you enough room for around 6,000 CDs stored in the lossless FLAC format. There’s also a handy, full-color display on the front that probably won’t get much use, and ’round back, you’ll find a WiFi adapter (for wireless music streaming, you dig?), optical / coaxial digital audio outputs, a left / right analog output, a USB socket and an Ethernet port (for more of that streaming stuff).
