Check out these comments and pictures from the 6 Moons
review of the Modwright vacuum tube modified Transporter
with the Music Vault as the Music Server.
review of the Modwright vacuum tube modified Transporter
with the Music Vault as the Music Server.
From the 6 Moons Review of the Modwright Transporter and the Music Vault.
" Apparently, Neal's software/hardware combo to rip to his Vault's hard-drive, then streaming that data wirelessly to the
Transporter was as good as the world's best dedicated transport. This won't make me popular with Esoteric or anyone
else still committed to designing and fabricating such devices (very few are left). Yet I cannot deny my ears' evidence.
Nor am I suggesting that such results are inherent in the computer audio equation. Just running any loaded-for-bear
PC for audio purposes will likely not give equivalent results."
Introductory pricing is $1120
Also from the review in 6 moons:
"Has that time finally arrived so us old-timers must get off our resistant arses, down with the hipsters and on with da
future? Therein lies the tale. Lest you think that a music server requires a home network, think again. Neal Van Berg's
MusicVault with 500GB or 1TB of storage is a stand-alone server with CD/DVD drive that will auto rip your CDs to hard
drive as FLAC files and arrives preloaded with the latest version of Slimserver. It communicates with your Transporter
wirelessly or via hardwired Ethernet link without setup hassles. And the Music Vault isn't a space hog. It of course also
works with the Squeezebox or Roku Sound Bridge. Hip hip hurray? " and the new Duet!!!!!
More from the 6 Moons review:
While my Vault loaner admittedly is not entirely your usual computer -- everything non-essential to ripping and storing
music files has been stripped and ripped out, including loading its operating system to USB stick -- it does use an
apparently quite ordinary 52-times hi-speed CD/ROM drive. By comparison, the top-line TEAC VRDS-NEO in my NWO
clocks in at $6,000 on the OEM price sheet - with minimum order quantities of 50. It's the arguably most drastic
juxtaposition one could make. Bottom line, the NWO 3.0-GO clocks in at $30,000, the ModWrighted Transporter + 1TB
Music Vault at about $5,000, combined. (MacBooks with 1/5th the storage capacity start out at $1,100 to compare in
price to the Vault). Then consider the small print. The NWO can only play whatever disc is loaded (though it's
compatible with DVD/A + V and SACD). The Transporter/Vault combo can play up to approximately 2,200 CDs stored
as FLAC files without ever getting up (actual figure depends on lengths of individual CDs of course).
The Latest High Resolution Audiophile Downloads from David Chesky will only playback at the 24 bit 192 KSPS digital
output on a tiny number of Music Servers, the Music Vault was designed to play this Music Back Flawlessly either
providing the 24 Bit 192 KSPS digital out to your Dac or though its Analog Out into your front end.

For Immediate Release
Chesky Records 192 kHz/24-bit WAV 1-to-1 Masters
Chesky Records introduces the 192 kHz/24-bit series. These are not limited editions but one-to-one copies of our
master 192 kHz/24-bit tapes. These are standard 192 kHz/24-bit WAV files that you can burn onto your computer's
hard drive and then play back on any device that will support 192 kHz/24-bit. These discs will NOT play on DVD-audio
players, CD players, and SACD players. These discs contain up to 4.7 GB of music each on a Gold DVD-R.
This is a major breakthrough for us in sound quality. The one-to-one masters off a good computer system sound more
like analog than any other digital source we have used. You will hear more air, tonal purity, resolution, and a much
richer, deeper, and wider soundstage.

John Atkinson Mentions how good the Music Vault sounds in his show report on the
Thiel /Bryston/Wire World/ Music Vault Room at CES
Thiel's Special Edition CS2.4
Posted Tue Jan 13, 2009, 5:29 PM ET — By John Atkinson
Thiel's PR wonk Micah Sheveloff grabbed me as I walked past the room in the Sands Convention Center Thiel was
sharing with Bryston to meet with Frank Göbl of Canton. "You've got to hear the new CS2.4 Special Edition." As Wes
Phillips had been mightily impressed by the original CS2.4 ($4900/pair) when he reviewed it in November 2005, I looked
at my watch. Enough time. I went into the dem room.
The CS2.4SE costs $8000/pair and only 150 pairs are being made. It differs from the original version by having a cost-
no-object complement of very high quality polypropylene and custom-made polystyrene capacitors, and is been finished
in a hand-selected Birdseye Maple veneer stained a deep red.
It sounded as good as it looked. With "Superman's Song" from Crash Test Dummies, played back from a Music Vault
source feeding a Bryston BDA-1 D/A processor ($1995), BPA-26 preamplifier, and pair of 7B-SST monoblocks
($7990/pair), and with the lowest octave (below the mid-30s—the CS2.4SEs were run fullrange) reinforced by a Thiel
SS2 subwoofer ($9800), the sound was simply superb. (Other items in the system included Wireworld cables and a
Torus RM-20 AC line conditioner.)
Unfortunately I only had the time for one song and I missed the dem of Thiel's zöet whole-house system, which uses IP-
addressable self-powered loudspeakers. My apologies, Jim, Kathy, and Micah for my sudden disappearance.
