Pink Faun Scion is a new music server and streamer from a well-known High End manufacturer. When making this more affordable model, the company did not use the developments of the 2.16 Ultra server, but designed the system from scratch.
Pink Faun Scion is equipped with two completely new power supplies - the main module is supplemented by another source; power supplies use low-noise scheme based on supercapacitors. This design allows you to operate two digital outputs at once. The software of the model is also proprietary - the server runs under the control of a specially written operating system Pink Faun OS, which optimizes both the sound quality and the ergonomics of device control as much as possible.
Pink Faun Scion is ROON certified. The USB output drived by the AS-media ASM3142 chipset and includes an upgraded synchronization circuit and low-noise regulators. The Pink Faun Scion music server will be available in versions with 1 or 4 TB of internal storage, with a maximum expansion possible of up to 8 TB.
