Hush Technologies ships DigiFi Range through Digital Fidelity in the UK (7/5/2009)

Hush Technologies (UK) ltd, London based subsidiary of HUSH Technologies Gmbh, award winning silent PC specialists, are delighted to announce that their 2 groundbreaking DigiFiTM products are now shipping and available for order through their UK partner Digital Fidelity.

By specifying the Hush DigiFiTM range, for the first time, Custom Installers are able to marry the unrivalled audio performance of the Linn DS range with the multi-room control offered by AMX and Crestron to integrate these (and other supported UPNP) players seamlessly into full custom installations. Straight from the box, all DigiFiTM products come supplied with control modules for leading control systems including Crestron and AMX, and are pre-configured to support Linn DS players, SONOS and ROKU.

The brand new HUSH DigiFiTM offers custom installers a robust, reliable and repeatable install with no need to deploy any other third party software.

Encased in a striking, beautifully engineered, robust aluminium chassis, and using HUSH's patented and award winning silent cooling technology, two Hush DigiFiTM models are shipping now and available from Digital Fidelity:

* HDF200, with a terabyte of internal storage
* HDF100, for installations that are entirely based on external NAS drives

The Hush/Streaming Player combination is a full IP-based solution, with storage and control infrastructure in a centralised (including rack-mount) location, and digital distribution over CAT5 to Linn DS and other supported players. Both HUSH DigiFiTM models rip and encode to WAV, and MP3, and are able to store content to NAS drives (the DF100 rips directly to NAS) to support the most extensive music collections.

The HUSH DigiFiTM is also able to 'harvest' content stored on any drives shared on the home network, as well as connected MP3 players and USB drives. Harvested formats supported are WAV, MP3, WMA (inc Lossless), FLAC, AAC, Apple Lossless but the DigiFiTM intelligently transcodes all those, where necessary, to the formats supported by each player. All the music harvested, irrespective of source - local, NAS, PC, Mac - is catalogued and displayed as one music library for control either by Crestron and AMX control-surfaces or the HUSH DigiFi's own interfaces running on PC, PDA and TV.

"With the HUSH DigiFiTM, the progressive custom installer is now able to open up fresh new opportunities by offering on the one hand a genuine audiophile solution, in integrating and controlling the Linn DS range within the full Crestron or AMX install, and flexibility and choice with ROKU and SONOS on the other" commented Matthew Simmons, Commercial Director for Digital Fidelity. "and by bundling the DigiFiTM with the Linn DS, there is also incremental business to be had, offering this combination to legacy installs as an audiophile upgrade"

Available now from Digital Fidelity the HDF100 is priced at £3499 and £3999 for the HDF200.
