From Rockna Audio

The Wavelight Server runs its audio engine on an AMD Series 7 FPGA, clocked by a pair of CCHD-957 oscillators. A linear power supply with two toroidal transformers keeps the power clean.

Storage runs from 2 to 16 TB. Outputs include I2S (the native path to Rockna DACs), plus AES/EBU, S/PDIF, optical, and USB. Ethernet is the only input, so it's a streaming and local-playback box, not a CD transport.
