Olive introduces the OPUS – a high end CD player with 400GB HDD
Olive Media Products has introduced a new product called the OPUS. The OPUS is a high end CD player with an integrated 400GB HDD inside. The entire system targets the audiophile market that requires the very best in digital audio quality. Inside the OPUS, you’ll find four Burr-Brown 24 bit/192kHz DACs with 8x oversampling. There’s a separate temperature compensated crystal oscillator which provides the DACs with an ideal clock reference and virtually eliminates any jitter.
So what does the OPUS do exactly? Well similar to the rest of the Olive lineup, the OPUS allows users to record, tag, and archive CDs with the press of a single button. Music is stored on an internal 400GB HDD in lossless quality and you can access the music via a built in LCD display. How much music does 400GB provide? About 1100 CDs worth (that’s way more than what I have I’ll tell ya)
The OPUS itself is built out of fine grade aluminum and features a distinctive front plate with an elegant CD door. The entire body is designed to reduce operating noise and vibration. You can expect the OPUS to be available this month for a price of $2999. Yup.. it’s for the people who want the very best in audio quality and who are willing to pay for it!
Olive(R) Unveils OPUS – High-End CD Player Stores 1,100 CDs in Lossless Quality
SAN FRANCISCO –(Business Wire)– March 1, 2006 Olive Media Products, Inc., a developer of innovative digital audio systems, today announced the new OPUS, a high-end CD Player with integrated 400GB hard drive. Designed and custom-built in the USA the OPUS is targeted at the audiophile market. The heart of its digital-to-analog conversion is powered by four Burr-Brown 24-bit/192 kHz DACs with 8X oversampling. A separate temperature-compensated crystal oscillator provides the DACs with an ideal clock reference, and virtually eliminates jitter. To minimize the noise level and prevent corruption of the analog signal the OPUS features an exclusively linear power supply. Combining premium audio technology with harmonious circuit architecture the OPUS delivers an audio experience on par with high-end CD players in its class, and sets a new standard for digital music players.
Like Olive’s award-winning music center line, the OPUS allows users to record, tag and archive CDs with a simple button, using an ultra-quiet hard drive that holds up to 1,100 CDs in lossless quality. Once in the digital domain users can conveniently access their music and create playlists across their entire collection.
“Integrating convergence technology into a high-end audio device ultimately leads to a better music experience.” said Oliver Bergmann, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and President of Olive Media Products, Inc. “But it also poses a great challenge due to its distortional influence on audio reproduction. Olive’s long-standing engineering experience with both worlds allows the OPUS to take advantage of the digital audio revolution, while delivering a stunning sonic performance.”
The OPUS’ remarkable acoustic performance is complemented by its minimalist design. Built out of fine grade aluminum the solid chassis features a distinctive front plate with an elegant CD door, and is optimized to reduce operating noise and vibration.

The Olive(R) OPUS will be available beginning of March 2006 for US$2,999. Products are available through certified resellers or directly by phone (1.877.BY.OLIVE), and online at http://www.olive.us.
