The Cocktail Audio X45Pro bridges the gap between digital and analog music sources, from streaming to playing records. Its enormous functionality, versatile connection options, wealth of features, unique control concept and solid enclosure make the X45Pro a highly desirable product. The X45Pro can be connected to a power amplifier of your choice or directly to active speakers. Of course, the X45Pro can also be connected to your existing audio system as a multifunctional source. The final result is entirely up to you. First and foremost, the Cocktail Audio X45Pro is a standard preamplifier to which you can also connect other audio sources, such as a turntable, TV, etc. It is also a network server. Music stored on the hard drive functions as a central music library that can be accessed from anywhere in your home via the home network using other network products. Of course, you can use the supported streaming services such as Spotify Connect, Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer and Napster. For radio, you can choose from internet, FM and DAB+. You can also record from the radio and other connected sources, and the recordings will be saved to the hard drive. You can play CDs, but also rip them, allowing you to store your own collection on the hard drive and even burn CDs from it. Via Airplay and Shareplay, you can also stream music to the X45Pro from your tablet or smartphone. With the X45Pro, you no longer need an external hard drive, such as a NAS, PC or portable hard drive, for music storage. The X45Pro itself offers space for an optional internal hard drive (3.5, 2.5 SATA hard drive or SSD), with a massive storage capacity of up to 8 TB at present. That is enough for up to 10,400 CDs in uncompressed WAV format or up to 48,000 CDs in the best 320K MP3 quality. The X45Pro can serve as a music server in your home network (with a built-in hard drive) that provides music via your home network to other Cocktail Audio network players, as well as those from, for example, Elac Discovery, Sonos, Heos or Bluesound. An external NAS or USB hard drive can also be connected. The X45Pro has no annoying humming fan and is virtually silent when using a high-quality hard drive. You can record music to the internal hard drive (optional) from FM, DAB+ and internet radio, as well as from external sources such as a turntable (via the Phono input), an analog source connected to the AUX (3.5 mm jack) or analog input (RCA L/R), and digital sources connected via AES/EBU, Coaxial or Toslink. Recording is even possible at resolutions up to 24-bit/192 kHz. With the smart automatic or manual trimming function, you can edit recorded music yourself, for example recordings with multiple tracks, and thus perfect your own music collection to your liking.
