SO WHAT DOES THAT ALL MEAN?

This little box does so much, so well.  The software running the storage and all functions is logical and quickly understood, it is also stable, no glitches or oddities and is upgradable via the internet if new software features or upgrades become available.  

For highest quality, it will rip and store and play 24/192 WAV or FLAC files, so its Hi-Fi credentials good, a great little server platform on which to store all your CD's and Hi-Res downloads.

For practical ease of use, it will connect to a Sonos system, or any other home hub connected audio system you may already have.  You can also import and manage your files over a network thanks to support for 'Samba' .

Download the Novatron App onto your phone or tablet to readily find and play music from your armchair, or if the X14 is near to hand (say 2-3mtrs away) you will easily see the infomation on its own 5" screen and use the provided remote handset, or use buttons on the unit itself.

It will stream from the internet, so all radio stations from around the world and podcasts are available. You will have access to internet streaming services: Spotify, Qobuz, TIDAL & Deezer. You can add to or copy from the music stored on the X14 to or from another device, or use a CD drive (not supplied, but cost around £25.00p) to rip your CD collection with no loss of quality. The X14 will automatically add album/track info and the album cover art from the internet, or supplied data disc if you are not internet connected.

The powerful high quality 30 Watt stereo amplifer is punchy and offers a well integrated and natural sound stage, so hook up with some smallish speakers and you have one sophisticated and future proofed audio system. 

What do we think: 

For £996.00p, it is now possible to have a fabulous X14 'front end' with 500Gb music storage + lovely mid priced Dali bookshelf speakers with 1.5Mtr. pr. high quality loudspeaker cables, to bring you the latest high quality (and we are talking 'studio quality') sound into the home.  We love it, real high quality sound on a budget.
