HFX
The HFX zonee is a universal UPNP based network player (client). It will be connected with USB DACs
and USB Amps and replaces Laptops and PCs. This way you have a small tiny powersaving player.
It has also analog mini jack output and S/PDIF output, which can be used. With HDMI you can also
monitor on your TV, what is actually playing in which zone.
You only need to connect the HFX zonee to your LAN network. With a webbrowser you can then give
each zone an individual name and you can also assign, which output (analog, S/PDIF, USB1-4) is used
for this zone. That's all! Once done, you can take any iPAD, Android Pad or Phone and start playing in
each zone, whatever you want.
What do you need for a UPNP system?
1. Network with Router, if you want to use internet radio, you also need internet access
2. UPNP-Server: with your music collection and internet radio like the RipNAS
3. UPNP-Clients: like the HFX zonee. You can have a zonee in each room or use only one
zonee and connect all rooms with USB Air DACs to 1 zonee centrally.
4. ControlPoint: use any Android or Apple device as a remote control, there are many
free UPNP apps in the market
