JPLAY on Antipodes

It’s interesting that you mention the music SSD. Apologies if I’m repeating myself—this may have come up in a different thread—but in addition to being highly recommended by Antipodes for music file storage, JCAT also utilizes an “industrial-grade SSD, carefully selected for its distinctive sound qualities”—specifically, the PM893 SSD available in 4GB or 8GB capacities. Coincidence?

To lift performance further, in their latest flagship server, the JCAT XACT S1, the music SSD is connected to the motherboard with a 40 cm directional, cryo-treated SATA cable made with copper/silver conductors.

While in Oladra you can choose the PM893 for storing music files (the 3 slots on top in the image), the Oladra server already comes with a pre-installed PM893 dedicated to the operating system (in center, based on this image from Sept '23), whereas the XACT S1 runs its OS from an industrial SD card (very recent image).
