Rockna Audio Wavelight Server

Sale price$6,699.00

Color: Black

The Rockna Wavelight Server is a full-featured, high-end music server that replaces computers, storage drives, and external rendering chains with a single, elegantly engineered box, built around an AMD FPGA audio engine, dual CCHD957 precision clocks, and linear dual-toroidal power supplies to provide a reference-class digital source with minimal noise and maximum stability.

Type and Technology

Reference music server and network audio renderer. AMD Series-7 FPGA with dedicated DSP and upsampling engine for hardware-level audio processing. Dual CCHD957 precision clocks for timing accuracy. Linear dual toroidal power supply transformers for low noise and stability. Low-power 2 or 4-core CPU with 8GB RAM. Internal storage from 2TB to 16TB (as configured). USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports for external drive expansion. Ethernet LAN input. Digital outputs: I2S (recommended for highest quality), AES/EBU, S/PDIF coaxial, Toslink optical, USB. Software support: Roon Core/Bridge, MPD, HQPlayer NAA, UPnP, OpenHome, AirPlay. Browser-based local control UI plus iOS/Android mobile apps for storage, playback, transcoding, and upsampling settings. OTA firmware updates.

Sound Character

The Wavelight Server's hardware upsampling engine processes audio before it leaves the box, the FPGA and DSP stage provides a higher-quality signal to the DAC than software upsampling on a general-purpose CPU can deliver. The linear power supplies and precision clocks produce a clean, low-noise digital environment that allows the downstream DAC to perform at its full capability. Particularly effective with the Rockna Wavedream via I2S.

Build and Finish

Premium chassis in black or silver. Managed entirely via browser UI on the local network or via iOS/Android apps. Storage size configurable from 2TB to 16TB. Authorized reseller, genuine unit with full warranty support.

Best For

Audiophiles who want a clean, integrated, high-fidelity digital music ecosystem, internal library storage, hardware upsampling, network streaming, and rendering in a single purpose-built box. Ideal partner for the Rockna Wavedream via I2S.
