Rockna Wavelight Server
The Wavelight audiophile music Server – or the WLS – is your perfect source partner for Wavelight/Wavedream dacs, or just any dac, especially if equipped with a I2S input. In adition the I2S output, AES/EBU, SPDIF and optical output (Toslink) are available.
FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUTS
WLS resolves a few important aspects of a modern audio setup. It virtually eliminates the need for a computer holding your core server; will eliminate the need for a strong CPU to perform PCM to DSD transcoding; and eliminate the need for a storage server. All these features are included into a sleek and stylish package, visually matching the Wavelight DAC.
INTERNAL STRUCTURE
The WLS combines a few key elements for server-based digital audio playback: a linear power supply, a low TDP computing system running custom Linux, a highly efficient FPGA / DSP system for audio managament.
SOFTWARE AND USER SCENARIOS
The WLS will manage to transcode between formats on hardware level, without overloading the CPU. Therefore, it’s heat and RFI emissions will stay low, without bad influence on audio circuitry.
The WLS has the ability to let you choose from a variety of server software and audio services including Roon, MPD, LMS and so on. There are many use scenarios, the device can be used as core, or can be used as renderer or endpoint.
STORAGE
Wavelight Server was designed to host your music. From a basic 2TB to a maximum of 16TB of internal storage, it can keep internally thousands of music albums in high-quality, uncompressed format. Additionally, WLS has 3 USB ports, where you can connect external storage, and/or a NAS (Network Attached Storage) can be defined as music source for WLS.
CONTROL INTERFACE
The WLS has a powerful control interface that can be accessed via local browser or control app. It allows the owner to manage internal or attached storage, select active software or services, select upsampling or transcoding parameters, select I2S output setting for DAC compatibilty, rip cd’s to local drives, enable room correction etc.
WLS is fully upgradable and future-proof. Both operating system with services and FPGA (audio hardware) can be easily updatable via internet.

El server definitivo
Dudé mucho al comprar el Rockna Wavelight Server porque hay otras opciones más económicas en el mercado. Probé varias antes de decidirme por el WLS e incluso me hice mi propio servidor. Mis dudas se centraban en la mejora de sonido (suponía que no habría una mejora perceptible) y en la capacidad del WLS para manejar de manera solvente librerías con un número elevado de entradas y almacenamientos grandes (como el que yo uso de 8TB). Después de una demostración en Alma Audio, me convencieron la fluidez con la que se desenvuelve y su sonido. Una vez en casa y en combinación con el Wavelight DAC noté una mejora de sonido sustancial, sobre todo en la articulación de los graves. En comparación directa con mi solución anterior no tuve duda de que el WLS vale totalmente lo que cuesta. La forma de conectarlo y manejarlo es muy sencilla, lo probé con varias configuraciones (por ejemplo UPnP A/V o HQPlayer) y funciona muy bien. Finalmente opté por configurarlo como servidor roon core y va de maravilla. Si estás buscando un servidor que ofrezca tanto un sonido superior como una capacidad suficiente para manejar librerías grandes, el Rockna Wavelight Server es una opción que definitivamente vale la pena considerar.
