Antipodes Audio K22 Music Server/ Player/ Reclocker 
 
THE K22
The K22, with G4 Oladra technology, houses the Player and Re-clocker Engines of the K50, omitting only the K50's high-power Server engine. It can be used as a low-powered Server - Player - Re-clocker and be the ideal entry point when high-power is not needed. Or it can be added to the high-powered K41 to achieve the same performance level as a K50.
 
ENTRY-LEVEL HIGH-END
Implementation of G4 Oladra technology in the K22 in 2023 has transformed the K22 - treble and bass information is increased, the mid-range is enriched, and all sense of strain has been banished. Music flows with such ease that it conveys much more of the artistry and emotion in every recording, and will immerse you in your music. The K22 is designed to deliver world-class sound quality and outstanding value for users with libraries smaller than 8TB, and who do not wish to use DSP features.
 
TWO PROCESSORS
The K22 uses a high-quality medium-powered processing engine that can run both Server applications and Player applications, together with the re-clocking engine from the widely acclaimed K50. The K22 can alternatively operate as a world-class Player-only device and is recommended for adding player end-points to an Oladra, K50 or K41, particularly when you can take advantage of the re-clocked outputs. The K22 engine plays to your DAC over USB, S/PDIF, AES3 and I2S, and can also stream via Ethernet over your network to streamers.

APPLICATIONS
Antipodes provides you with a wide range of application choice.
 
Minimserver • SQUEEZE • Roon • miniDLNA • HQPlayer • PLEX • MPD • Sonos
 
Antipodes also enables the use of ROON with any DAC, whether it is Roon Ready or not. Rather than stream to the Ethernet input of a Roon Ready DAC, you will get better sound using our Roon Player, and using either USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S to play to your DAC. Your DAC does not need to be Roon Ready to enjoy using the excellent Roon Server interface.
 
There are three different types of application involved in a computer audio solution.
Server Applications. Server applications manage Internet Streaming Services and locally stored music files, and when a file is to be played, the Server application streams the music file to the Player application. Examples of Server applications are Roon Server, Squeeze Server, HQPlayer Server Embedded.
Player Applications. A Player application receives the streamed music file from the Server application, converts it to a digital audio signal and transmits the digital audio signal to your DAC.
Playback Solutions. A Playback Solution defines the Server application, the Player application, the connection you will use to your DAC, and the method you want used for sending DSD files to your DAC.
 
Your Antipodes provides a sophisticated management interface AMS that makes it very simple for you to select your Playback Solution, and adds simple ways to get your music into the music library on your Antipodes.

*** UPDATES SUMMER 2023 *** 
THE CHANGES:
Updates to the Oladra and the K Series are due to four key developments that we have been working on over several months.
 
Installing triple-cascade switch-mode power supplies in the K Series models.
Installing our proprietary high-quality isolation footers on the K Series models.
Upgrading K50 and K41 Server engines with innovations used in The Oladra.
Upgrading the Player engines for the Oladra, K50, K22 & K21.
Installing new USB outputs for the Oladra, K50, K22 & K21.
 
 
IMPACTS
We expect to release the new models, and begin performing upgrades from 1 August 2023, but we may experience some unexpected manufacturing delays, so we cannot be precise about the date yet.
Sound quality is significantly improved on ALL outputs for all models.
USB now matches the sound quality level from S/PDIF and AES3.
An increase of 200% to 400% more system resources for K Series models.
Enterprise-level resilience against data loss in a power fluctuation or outage.
Upgrades will be available for existing Oladra, K50, K41, K40, K30, K22 & K21 models and updated models (except the K30) will be identical in all respects to the corresponding new model.
A K30 update will install dual triple-cascade power supplies, improved Player engine, and the new USB output.
The upgrade pricing is all-inclusive - includes pick-up, upgrade and return to the customer at no additional charge. Alternatively, customers can deliver to their local dealer or local freight depot and pick-up when the upgrade has been completed.
