Introducing the amazing, feature packed Cocktail Audio X10 Hi Fi Audio system with CD storage and music streaming unit.

This little marvel is a CD player/CD ripper network (wired and optional wireless) device.  It features a huge range of features.  I will try to concisely list and explain the major features.

  • High speed CD player. This high speed CD player is both a CD player and a high speed CD ripper.  You can use the CD to store (rip) your compact discs onto an installed hard disc drive (optional) and can then access your music library from the comfort of your lounge without the clutter of the CD cases in your room.
  • Music database. The Cocktail Audio X10 features FreeDB access, so any music you enter into the system will be searched for using the online music database and categorised accordingly into its appropriate genre.
  • Encoding options. There are 4 encoding options; WAV, MP3, OGG and FLAC.  Different encoding methods allow for different quality, with WAV reproducing original CD quality, or MP3 compression giving a lower quality, but greatly reduced file size.  This is handy if you have a huge library and a limited to a small hard drive.
  • Multiple search options. Once you have loaded your music into the X10 you can select the music by searching by category, genre, artist, title or year.
  • Line input. You can use the 3.5mm line input to import and save music from your old cassettes or record players (with a phono pre amplifier.)  This is a great option for those rare tracks that are not available on CD, or those old home 'mix tapes'.
  • Network and Music streaming. This is where the Cocktail Audio X10 really shines.  With a built in 10/100 ethernet port, or the optional wireless dongle, the X10 can stream music directly from a PC or MAC.  it can also access INTERNET RADIO, giving access to over 15,000 radio station worldwide.  It also allows recording of MP3 streaming.
  • SYSTEM INTEGRATION. The Cocktail Audio X10 has a 3.5mm line input, 3.5mm line out and optical digital output to allow the X10 to be integrated with your existing music system.
  • USB ports. The X10 includes 2 USB ports to allow the use of the USB wireless dongle as well as USB devices such as memory sticks and external hard drives.  The USB can also be used for firmware upgrades.
  • Hard Disc Drive. The X10 has a concealed slot to enable the fitting of a Sata hard disc of up to 2TB, with room for inceasing the size of useable hard drives in the future through firmware upgrades.
  • 2. Useful Functions
