Silent Angel - Rhein Z1C - 8G -250G HiFi Music Server
The Silent Angel Rhein Z1C 8G 250G is a compact HiFi music server built for listeners who want a dedicated digital audio platform without moving into a larger server chassis. Designed as an entry-level model in Silent Angel’s music server lineup, it combines VitOS software, solid-state storage, and focused digital audio hardware in a clean, rack-friendly enclosure.
The Z1C uses an Intel quad-core J4125 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 250GB NVMe SSD for responsive operation and stable local music management. It supports a broad range of high-resolution file formats, including FLAC, WAV, ALAC, AIFF, and DSD up to DSD256. A dedicated USB Audio output allows connection to an external DAC, while Gigabit Ethernet supports network streaming from services and local libraries.
For upgraded system integration, the Rhein Z1C includes a 25MHz external clock input, internal TCXO clocking, EMI-focused shielding, and an aluminum alloy chassis designed to help reduce vibration, dust, and noise. With support for Qobuz, Spotify Connect, DLNA, AirPlay2, Internet Radio, and multi-player streaming to up to 10 endpoints, the Z1C gives digital audio systems a flexible server foundation.
