432 EVO High End Reference Music Server - Positive Feedback (positive-feedback.com)

 

Concluding Remarks

The 432 EVO High End Music Server is a remarkable player, making good on its promise to deliver a warmer, more pleasant listening experience via its 432 Hz tuning. It definitely takes the edge off digital files and, if you’re jonesing for vinyl playback but don’t have the bucks or inclination to purchase a good one (or a decent cartridge and phono stage preamplifier, for that matter), this might be the way to go; you get the convenience of digital with a lion’s share of vinyl’s warmth. Moreover, if you prefer your downloads, ripped files and streaming served straight up, you can do that, as well; with a click of a setting, you can listen in 440 Hz. But, wait, there’s more! You can also rip CDs via its built-in ripper. There’s also the upsampling options, but that does not appeal to me, so I didn’t bother and, hence, cannot comment on that.

Either way, the 432 EVO High End Music Server is a great value; teamed-up with the likes of the Schiit Audio Yggdrasil OG DAC, Pass Labs amplification, Straight Wire cabling, Usher Audio Mini Dancer 2 tower speakers, and a good acoustical space, it delivers a musical experience that entreats you to listen to just one more song, again and again! Bottom line, it gets my thumbs up.

 

Thanks juan for the great review!

I will stay with a Bluesound and external DAC. I never liked products/brands/salesmen pushing something down my throat....

Regarding the review of the server, it has a great history of 432 Hz and is worth checking out. It's not a bunch of bull as some say. That's not to say I'm a proponent, but just keeping an open mind.

All the best,

@nonoise   Have you listened to playback via the 432 Hz plug in? Feedback on the differences vs. 440 Hz? Thanks.

@david_ten ,

No, I haven’t. It’s just that so many top notch opera singers were campaigning for it back in the day that piqued my interest. That, and through the years, it was raised a few times from below it, to above it. I just found it interesting.

From what I read, raising it increases the leading edge and "sharpens" the sound and lowering it blunts that sound. Based on that, I'd prefer to keep things the way they are.

All the best,
Nonoise
