Rip, Store and Stream Your Entire Music Collection Without a Computer
The Bluesound VAULT 2i Streamer, CD Ripper With Hard Drive in Black combines high-resolution network streaming, automatic CD ripping and a 2TB internal music library in one compact BluOS component. Insert a standard audio CD into the slot-loading drive and the VAULT 2i can rip it directly to its internal drive in lossless FLAC, uncompressed WAV or space-saving 320kbps MP3, creating a centralized digital music collection without requiring a computer.
Once connected to a wired home network, the VAULT 2i can share its stored music with other Bluesound players throughout the home while also accessing streaming services, internet radio and network music libraries. Its built-in 32-bit/192kHz DAC provides high-quality analog playback, while coaxial and optical digital outputs allow connection to an external DAC. AirPlay 2, Roon Ready operation, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect and two-way aptX HD Bluetooth further expand its flexibility as a complete digital music source.
