Olive ONE
« on: Dec 28, 2012 at 11:55 AM »
I got this from their Facebook page:

http://www.myoliveone.com/

http://www.indiegogo.com/oliveone

It looks very interesting- concept,features,price wise. I have been wanting to have an Olive but its price its keeping me from owning one. if this Olive One becomes a reaility we can have this for just 499usd- roughly the price of a decent entry level CDP.


"Olive Media is launching its most affordable streaming music system in 2013 -- and it's turning to crowdsourcing site IndieGoGo to help prime the preorder pump.
 
The new Olive One is an audio streamer with a distinctive circular design housing a 7-inch capacitive touch screen. Like Olive's current product line, the One can stream from music libraries housed on networked PCs or network attached storage (NAS) devices; the built-in Pandora and Spotify apps (with more to follow); music libraries housed on the internal hard drive (found on the more expensive models); or app-based music services on tablets, smartphones, and handhelds via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi direct streaming.

Happily, unlike Olive's current lineup -- which starts at a hefty $1,499 -- the One's starting price is a reasonable $399. Versions with built-in 1TB and 2TB hard drives will cost $499 and $599, respectively. Those built-in hard drives will also be accessible to users remotely, enabling what Olive calls a "subscription-free home cloud" of online music.

(Credit: Olive Media)

True to Olive's high-end audiophile lineage, the One will feature a 32-bit/384kHz DAC by Burr-Brown, with the ability to play FLAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, and WAV files, in addition to the more common MP3 and AAC formats.

The One will sport dual 32-watt-per-channel amplifiers -- just add speakers, and you're good to go. Right now, the One is not designed with analog or digital line outputs, but a company representative told CNET that Olive is "thinking about offering an adapter that provides digital and analog out."
 
If the fact that this Olive is taking aim at Sonos isn't already apparent, the One will also be designed with multiroom Wi-Fi streaming in mind (with the purchase of additional units, of course) via its built-in dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi.
 
Need more? In addition to the touch screen, Olive says the One's display -- which features wide-ranging search options through Olive's "Music OS" and the ability to play YouTube videos -- will also be viewable on Miracast-compatible TVs. (How that works -- and if there would be any TV-based control options -- remains a bit unclear.)

If you're not standing near the One's touch screen, you can also opt to use the free iOS or Android control apps for smartphones or tablets. Here, though, it seems like Olive has its work cut out: current user reviews on the iOS app indicate that it's not up to snuff.
 
Rounding out the Olive's bag of tricks: the device is slated to be hand-built in San Francisco.
 
Buy in early on Indiegogo
 What would a new product announcement be without a crowdsourcing component? Olive's got that covered, too: Interested audiophiles can get in on the Olive One train early at Indiegogo. In addition to discounted early orders, you can also provide comments and feedback on the product, which Olive may incorporate before it's ultimately released -- currently scheduled for July 2013. At the time of this writing, the funding campaign was already more than $33,000 toward its ultimate goal of $200,000. The funding drive closes on February 1, 2013."

I really love the design of this and the implementation..been reading a lot of it and emailing the olive about it..they updated the specs of the output again..

Audio Output
Analog: Speaker out
Digital:
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast™
Bluetooth
Wi-Fi Direct&#x2122
On connector box (separate accessory):
Analog out (RCA)     > will use the internal DAC but will not use the internal AMP
Digital out (Coax)     > will not use both internal DAC and AMP
USB > to add another storage

check how they will implement the array of output..at least they were able to make it look seamless on the original design.. 8)

Does it mean that the Connector Box is an add-on cost? Meaning additional to the $399?

Very interesting... ;)

New options always come on time... ;D

$399 will be fair enough if its of good quality rather than buying a dying/dead technology... hehe

Yes... received an email that the release date has been delayed a bit... they are now looking at September because of these "new" updates... which I am in favor of anyway. Hehe.

Shipping is at end September to early October. The reason for charging the card is so that your unit would be among those shipped first.

If you don't agree to having your card "pre-charged", your unit will be shipped sometime November.

This was in the email I received last Saturday.

^ I read that 04HD have an input via coaxial so it can act as an external DAC..so if you have an external source that has a digital out (coaxial) you may be able to use 04HD..

I know olive can be connected via lan/wifi..o if you have music files from your network I think it would be able to play those..if that is what you mean by external source..
