This is an excellent sounding music server with CD ripper built in to store close to 2,000 albums on its approximately 1TB hard drive (900 GB usable space). It provides digital output in case you want to use an external DAC, but the sound is excellent through the analog output, making an external DAC redundant.
My Olive Opus 04 is unmodified and has never been opened. Connects to your WPA2 or lower LAN via wireless (802.11g), and provides wired connectivity as well (Gigabit Ethernet).
I've been very satisfied with my Olive music servers since 2006. However, I've upgraded to a wireless streamer, so if you just want to play ripped CDs and listen to internet radio, the Olive may be for you. This one looks like new and works great.
All accessories included (remote, recovery CD, owner's manual, power cord). Ships in original box.
