This is 21st-century hi-fi: the Olive 4HD is superb to live with and listen to
Write your own review
- For
Exceptional sound; approachable and easy to use; quality build and finish; sheer value- Against
It doesn't stream from iTunes - but that's not what it's really for anyway
Is the CD player an endangered species? Not yet, perhaps, but it seems its hegemony is slipping: high-quality iPod docks and DACs are becoming increasingly popular, while Squeezebox and Sonos are happily carving up the music-system middle-ground, leaving the high-end to Linn, Meridian, Naim and, as of today, Olive.
Yes, Olive. You won't have heard of the company before, but rest assured this could well be one of hi-fi's most talked-about brands in 2010.
It's California-based, founded and run by a German, and its hugely capable 4HD hard-disk music server can deliver hi-fi sound so reassuringly, familiarly British that even ardent CD aficionados will surely find it difficult to dislike.
With 2TB of storage, it's also capacious enough to satisfy the keenest digital music collector: even at best (uncompressed) quality, the Olive can accommodate up to 3000 albums, which ought to be enough for most.
Use FLAC, which sounds perfectly acceptable to most ears, and that capacity grows to an improbable 6000 discs.
Loading it with your music will take time, of course, although some dealers may offer disc-loading services (where your CD collection is ripped to the 4HD for you).
Great to use and live with
Ease of use is another major facet of Olive's mantra. The 4HD is about the same size as a regular CD player, looks a little like one as well, and, thanks to conventional control keys on its fascia, can even be used like a CD player, too.
But we think most will prefer to use its beautiful 4.3in, 480 x 272 resolution colour touchscreen, with its clear, intuitive and thoroughly attractive menus. It's fast, effective and readily visible from across a room.
And a free iPhone/iPod Touch app is available too – which is just as well, as the supplied remote control is more functional than desirable.
Internally, the Olive sports 24-bit/192kHz PCM 1792A digital-to-analogue conversion from Burr-Brown – usefully, this can be used as an offboard DAC for other digital sources too, thanks to the 4HD's inclusion of a digital input.
Alternatively, there are both coaxial and optical digital outputs, so if you'd rather connect your Olive into an offboard DAC or digital-ready amplifier, you're covered. And there's even an HDMI connector, so you can display the 4HD's album art on your TV.
Olive's silence is golden
Careful attention to detail means the Olive goes about its business in silence: the hard-drives are housed on eight layers of noise-isolating material, while the fanless configuration means your listening won't be unduly interrupted.
Connected via analogue interconnects into our reference system, the 4HD's sound is excellent.
Out of the box, the 4HD comes pre-loaded with a 12-track 24-bit Chesky audio sampler designed to illustrate its sonic potential. These are stunningly transparent and precisely imaged – a genuine leap up in quality over 16-bit CDs.
WAV and FLAC rips from 'regular' CDs are deeply impressive too, with Hans Zimmer's muscular Dark Knight soundtrack offering plenty of sonic drama.
And comparing the CD quality with that of Marantz's excellent CD6003 was interesting, too: there wasn't much in it, with the 4HD proving, at the least, an attentively rhythmic and expressive listen.
Of course, as any music server ought to be, the Olive's wi-fi-enabled (and also sports an ethernet connection if you prefer a wired link).
That means it can retrieve album art for your ripped CDs, gives it the ability to access internet radio and – most exciting of all – means it can stream music to up to 10 other Olive components.
The company makes its own 'client' players, called Olive 2: these offer a similar user interface to the 4HD, but omit the hard-disk and CD drive, and cost £650 each.
And now for the kicker. There are cheaper 500GB and 1TB versions of the Olive available, but even the most costly 2TB capacity model tested here will set you back less than half the cost of the £4500 Naim HDX, and a third of the £6285 tag for the Meridian Sooloos – yet in many ways it's a solid rival to both.
So, odd as it sounds for a unit of this price, this is a genuine bargain. Now do you see what we mean about Olive?
一個找CD封面的好網站. 還蠻好用的.

想知道您的PC上有多少不知道在做什麼的processes嗎?試試看這個

保證您會被嚇到!
請注意,如果有您不認識的軟體,先不急著delete它們。有些可能是有用的。
啊!多謝指教。顯然我玩PC玩的不夠。
目前Rip CD 191片,
發現在歌曲分類那邊有點亂,有些被分到Unknown區...
要改變分類,就直接到右半邊,把專輯名稱直接拖曳到左半邊正確的分類內..
就會變更了..
先停下Rip工作..來整理一下...XD
今天試接了HDMI到電視,要記得到4HD的設定裡切換輸出

Question
. 同一張專輯撥完無自動接著撥下一張
(利用撥放清單克服)
. 撥放清單無法編輯,只能全部刪除重設
. 升級軟體後,網路電台反而會中斷,要如何改回舊版本?
. Olive 2透過NAS,無法顯示封面
. 透過foobar一次只能放一首 (NAS OK)
. Olive 2沒有maestro控制功能
. 中文介面: 網路電台我的最愛只能加不能刪 (要用英文介面)
. maestro中文介面的bug
(1) 歌曲分類不能用中文
(2) "撥放"翻譯成"重覆撥放"
(3) 從『專輯名稱』-> 『你的專輯名稱』->『編輯』的話,就無法編輯作曲家名稱
. CD rip完,有時後CD會自動退出,有時候不會
. 面板反應慢 (這個是硬體問題,可能要等貴一點的Olive出世了)
. 找新加入的rip專輯不好找,是否能有一個新加入的選單出現,方便編輯與找尋
. 備份可以增加用NAS嗎?USB太麻煩嘍
. 正在播放歌曲,依然可以操作面板到其他功能,但卻無法回復到正在播放的畫面,電台無此問題,只要按一下橘色3角play即回復
. 播放NAS資料庫,希望能像電台一樣有跑馬燈
謝謝小葉的匯總, 將Olive目前的問題一次反應給廠商.
不過若是能將較重大的bug優先處理的話,新的firmware
也可早一點出來.
ex:. 升級軟體後,網路電台反而會中斷,要如何改回舊版本?

Software Recovery on your Olive 2 (via USB stick)
Software recovery on your Olive 2 cannot be initiated manually and the device will automatically prompt you to do a recovery if necessary. In the rare circumstance that your Olive 2 asks you to reinstall your Operating System, please download the following file and copy it onto a USB stick. The USB stick must be formatted in standard DOS Format (FAT32). Simply copy the file from your download folder to the USB stick. Note that you should not double-click the downloaded file in your computer's download folder.

Once the file is copied onto the USB stick, simply plug it into the USB port on your Olive 2 and follow the on-screen instructions. The Software Update will automatically install and your Olive 2 will restart after the update is complete.
所以目前Olive 4HD網路電台的問題,
自己下載舊版軔體安裝嗎?...
我還是等RIP CD跟備份完再作吧..
萬一出個小意外資料不見....(sweat)
升級後,專輯封面的下方也多了字母分類
http://www.my-hiend.com/leoyeh/2010a/olive4hd102.jpg
playlist內的曲目可自行刪除,順序也可自由移動
http://www.my-hiend.com/leoyeh/2010a/olive4hd103.jpg
歌曲的編輯裡也可更換封面
http://www.my-hiend.com/leoyeh/2010a/olive4hd104.jpg
所以Rip CD跟修改比較方便許多...
暫時沒考慮改回舊版..
(我拿到第一晚就升新版軔體了...以為上述功能本來就有的....:P)
也沒時間聽網路電台了...
光Rip CD跟聽CD的歌都不夠時間了...
等有需要再來改吧...
(也許下個版本就改善了)
不過備份要用FAT32格式,也不能跟其他資料共用同一個硬碟才是大問題
恩!這一版的韌體..感覺進步很多..很多功能都很實用..
只是網路電台,就退步很多..
不知有沒有提供一下..我們國內的網路電台
上次不小心有轉到一個香港的..
聽起來..還蠻熟悉的..
另外..小葉哥哥..能不能教一下..如何新增電台..
愛你喔..!!!
今天我也在研究這個,不過沒辦法成功
原因出在現在網路電台都有DRM保護,必須要用電腦才能撥放
4HD內建的都是沒有保護的
臺灣可上網收聽的,但4HD沒辦法
http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/air-kuo/a...1272&next=1263
新增網路電台
要找到網址最後為pls或是m3u的
ADD NEW STATION Enter a station name and web URL ending in “.pls” or “.m3u”.
真是遺憾..

2個問題請教各位大大:
1. 如何在六個歌曲分類(Classical,Jazz,Blues...)上新增第七個分類,如將Rock/Pop分成Rock及Pop分開?小弟指的不是在Rock/Pop之下新增.
2. 準備要買網路線,發現從外部連接到ADSL的是電話線而非網路線,只有ADSL之後的才是網路線,請問各位也是這樣嗎?
1.這六個歌曲分類是無法再加一個成第七個分類,因為無法編輯,
只能在六個歌曲分類下再新增.
2.光世代(VDSL)跟ADSL上網都是電話線接到數據機再接網路線出去的, 沒錯.
