The HFAS1-XS20U builds on the basic design of the popular HFAS1-S10U by adding an X-Cluster SSD unit designed specifically to deliver high 2 TB storage capacity and the high level of quality required by audio applications. This high-end fidata network audio server also utilizes a steel chassis that’s 3.2 mm thick for significantly higher rigidity so that it can deliver an even higher level of performance. *Apart from the X-Cluster SSD, the HFAS1-XS20U shares its circuit design and software with the HFAS1-S10U. X-Cluster SSD unit designed specifically for audio applications Instead of simply utilizing a single, large SSD, fidata incorporates a new technology known as X-Cluster Storage Technology to deliver high storage capacity along with the high quality required of audio components. Dedicated X-Cluster SSD unit for audio The X-Cluster SSD was developed specifically for the HFAS1-XS20U. This cluster stripes data uniformly across two SSDs. The resulting ability to access data uniformly across all SSDs in the cluster smooths the load on the power supply load by limitingdeviations in power consumption. In addition, the HFAS1-XS20U features a pair of dedicated linear power conditioners that provide clean power. X-Cluster Storage Technology Designers of audio devices must exercise maximum care with regard to power supplies. Featured in the HFAS1-XS20U, X-Cluster Storage Technology is a new, proprietary fidata technology developed from an audio storage perspective to deliver high SSD storage capacity, a more stable power supply, and reduced noise.The HFAS1-XS20U uses a steel plate that is 3.2 mm thick to increase its chassis rigidity. We revisited both the material and the surface finish of the base steel plate, which is 1.4 times thicker than the previous design. The new model’s hot-rolled steel features a black chromate finish, preserving the fidata’s well-received appearance while maximizing its chassis rigidity.

Closing in on the ultimate in sound quality with high-resolution audio
The debut of high-resolution audio files that contain more than four times the data of CDs sparked great excitement and joy among all those who love music. The sound quality made possible by that immense amount of data goes far beyond the limits of CD media to deliver a difference that is clear and surprising by every measure, including sound image localization, transparency, and resolution

Anyone can now download high-resolution audio files with the ultimate level of quality from the Internet. With the debut of such files, we have moved into an era of “media-less” playback in which it is possible to download high-data rate music that has been freed from the recording capacity constraints of physical media such as CDs, store it on computer hard disks, and listen to it using dedicated players

The shortcoming of this playback method is its interposition of a computer into the audio system.
Computers pose a variety of issues for audio purists, ranging from difficult connections and settings to complex operation and intractable noise issues.

These problems were resolved with the advent of network audio components that play audio directly from hard disks that are connected to networks (network-attached storage, or NAS).
Under this paradigm, audio files are stored in a library on an NAS device, and mobile handsets such as smartphones are used as controllers to intuitively download, manage, and play the files.
In this way, network audio has exceeded the CD in terms of ease of use.

The fidata HFAS1 is a network-attached storage (NAS) appliance designed specifically for network audio. This type of device, which is an essential part of any network audio setup, is known as a network audio server.

Combine the HFAS1 with a USB DAC unit in order to use it as a network player with a built-in server

You can use the HFAS1 as a PCM/DSD-compatible network audio player with a built-in server by connecting it to an audio device with a USB DAC (for example, a standalone unit, CD player amp, or headphone amp).
In this configuration, you can choose tracks and control playback from a DLNA- or OpenHome Media-compliant controller app on a smartphone or tablet.
Build the system that's right for you by picking a DAC to handle the sound and a controller to handle the user interface... now there are even more possibilities for enjoying your music.

The HFAS1 can be combined with any of a number of USB Audio Class 2.0-compliant USB DACs whose compatibility has been confirmed.
Since you can choose a DAC that has the sound characteristics you like, you can build a unique network audio system that suits your own usage environment.

By adding the HFAS1 to their setups, listeners who have been wavering over whether to buy a high-grade network audio player can enjoy network audio while using the USB DAC they already have.
With robust server and playback functionality at a reasonable price, the HFAS1 is the ideal choice for listeners who are looking into the world of high-resolution audio for the first time.

High-quality audio data output, even over a USB connection
USB DACs are typically used with ordinary computers, which aren't generally designed from an audio perspective, so listeners may not be able to enjoy the full benefit of the DAC's capabilities.
Since it's designed as an audio device, the HFAS1 delivers high-quality data output, including from its USB port.
The unit taps the latent capability of USB DACs, without difficult settings.

USB Audio Class 2.0 support
Simply connect a standard USB Audio Class 2.0-compliant USB DAC to the HFAS1's USB port. The unit will automatically recognize the DAC, allowing the HFAS1 to function as a network audio player.
List of devices and apps whose USB DAC compatibility has been confirmed
