Pink Faun 2.16 – Custom made rigid frame – Passive cooled power supply and processor – 8 heat pipes for processor cooling – 3 shielded transformers – Separate linear power supplies for processor, motherboard, SSD’s and digital outputs – Schottky rectifier diodes – more than 800,000uF capacity Nichicon capacitors – 8 core processor – Onboard SSD for the Linux OS and for buffering music prior to play – Room for 2 more SSD Drives for music storage – 22Kg.

The Pink Faun 2.16 can be used in three different ways.

1. as pure streamer connected via LAN to a home network (streaming direct from Tidal or Qobuz for example).
2. as a server playing music from a home NAS drive.
3. as a digital transport playing music stored on their internal SSD drives.

Pink Faun streamers are just streamers, they don’t have onboard DAC’s, volume controls, headphone outputs or built-in CD drives to rip CDs to their hard drives and they don’t have front panel displays. The front panel has a central on/standby button and that’s it, the rear panel has power, LAN and USB inputs and bays to accommodate customer specified output bridge modules (4 bays on the 2.16 & 2.16X and 5 on the 2.16 Ultra). 2.16 is Roon Ready and works seamlessly with Roon.

“The Pink Faun 2.16x Streamer is, sonically, as perfect a stereo source component as I have used. The sound I have enjoyed from it has been consistently satisfying and often breathtaking. It is expensive, big, heavy, and bold. It is also silent and a pleasure to use. Highly recommended.”

“If your budget can’t reach to the heady height of the 2.16 Ultra, then you won’t be at all disappointed when you get the 2.16 home”.
