Rip it. Download it. Store it. The VAULT 2i lets you rip all your CDs rapidly in bit-perfect, high-resolution formats. Store thousands of tracks on its internal ultra-quiet 2TB hard-drive that doubles as a network NAS drive. Hook up the VAULT 2i to your existing gear, pair it with a set of powered speakers or stream your digital music collection in studio-quality to Bluesound players all over the home.

• Store thousands of tracks on the VAULT 2i’s 2TB internal hard drive
• Rip your CDs in FLAC, MP3, WAV, WMA, and many other formats
• 1 Type-A port for USB connection to add your personal music collection
• Innovative 1GHz dual-core ARM Cortex processors

Note, however, that the Vault 2 does not support UPnP or DLNA, and cannot be seen directly by non-Bluesound streamers. One solution is to run a UPnP server on a computer that’s on the network, and point that server to the Bluesound using file share.
