Cocktail Audio X35 Roon Ready All-in-One Media Player (Silver)

It is hard to find a single device stereo solution that offers all you can dream of. The Cocktail Audio X35 on review here doesn’t offer that either since you -luckily - still need a set of loudspeakers. But for the rest it has about any function I could dream up. How do you categorise this machine? It is a two times 100 watt Class D amp plus FM and DAB+ tuners, a DAC and a CD-player. Add storage and it is a ripper, streamer and burner. It’s even a digital recorder so if you still have vinyl records you want to add, no problem for it also has a moving magnet phono input. But recording from radio or other source is no problem either. Since the X35 can also function as a music server using DLNA, FTP and SaMBa protocols, you don’t need a NAS either. It can even wake on LAN, switch on when another device in the network asks it to. And to top things of, it can also function as a Roon Endpoin
