Silent, High‑Rigidity Chassis Design The SSD model inherits the same fanless design philosophy as the HDD version, but with the added advantage of a completely silent solid‑state drive. The 1.2mm thick steel chassis — 1.5 times thicker than conventional 0.8mm designs — provides exceptional rigidity, suppresses vibrations, and efficiently dissipates heat throughout the entire body without any moving parts. The result is a perfectly quiet audio environment, ideal for critical listening sessions.
Superior Vibration Isolation Hemispherical rubber feet on the bottom minimise direct contact with the surface, effectively reducing the transmission of external vibrations into the unit. Combined with the SSD’s lack of mechanical moving parts, this further enhances playback stability and sound purity.
Audiophile‑Grade Audio Heritage Soundgenic is generously equipped with software technology cultivated under I‑O Data’s premium “fidata” audio brand. This ensures refined digital signal processing and high‑quality audio output when connected to an external USB‑DAC.
High‑Resolution USB‑DAC Playback Connect the unit directly to a USB‑DAC‑equipped audio device (such as a standalone DAC, amplifier, or headphone amp) to enjoy PCM and DSD playback. The SSD version supports PCM sampling rates up to 768kHz and native DSD up to 22.5MHz, making it fully capable of handling today’s highest‑resolution music files.
PC‑Free CD Ripping The built‑in CD drive allows one‑touch ripping directly to the internal 2TB SSD without a computer. Music track information and album artwork are automatically retrieved via Gracenote, making the archiving of your CD collection quick and effortless.
Seamless Music Import & Export Music can be imported from Windows/Mac computers via network, or directly from external USB HDDs and USB memory sticks. For portable listening, the unit supports transferring music to DAPs (portable digital audio players) and SD cards, with exFAT compatibility and multi‑storage device support (up to 3 devices).
Intuitive Control with fidata Music App The free “fidata Music App” for iOS and Android provides a clean, user‑friendly interface to browse your library and manage playback. The app is designed to control playback of music stored on the Soundgenic, keeping the focus entirely on your local collection.
