The Novafidelity X50D Pure Digital Streamer is a versatile music server, CD ripper, music library storage unit (up to 16TB) and network streaming device powered by ARM’s Cortex A9 processor and XMOS 32-bit 500MIPS micro controller. All full-range high resolution audio file formats are supported along with MQA, DSD and DXD.

The Novafidelity X50D is compatible with a full suite of major streaming services including TIDAL, Deezer, Napster and Qobuz including Spotify Connect function. This enables access tens of thousands of internet radio plus and online music service content at the touch of a button (a subscription is required for some services).

For existing DAC owners, X50D supports up to Native DSD256 via a I²S digital output (RJ45 & HDMI) and also features a dedicated USB Class 2.0 output. Via the Word Clock Out, X50D sends out the sample rate signal of the file currently playing, plus for quick data transfer purposes, the X50D offers two high speed USB3.0 Host ports.

A slot-loading optical disc drive is mounted in the X50D’s front-panel for fast CD ripping. Load your entire CD collection onto the X50D Music Database in FLAC, ALAC, WAV or MP3 file format with professional CD metadata and album cover art from Gracenote. You can also make your own digital music collection of DAB+/FM radio and Internet radio to X50D MusicDB via its recording function with a hi-res sampling rate 24-bit / 192 kHz.

With the wireless function, you can greatly increase the control options and flexibility of this great component! You can control the X50Dremotely using mobile devices including an iPhone, iPad, or iPod or using Android smartphones and tablets by downloading free UPnP apps.
