These systems have our award-winning AES-EBU output enhanced by the Baetis Audio Prodigy daughterboard. The daughterboard also provides a SPDIF output, now available as either BNC or RCA. system. HDMI for high resolution multi-channel output is also included.

Yes, you can run Roon, JRiver Media Center, Audirvana, Tidal, Qobuz (if available) and much more. In fact, any music app that runs on Windows 10 can be run on this unit. All Baetis Audio models can serve as a Roon core, endpoint or both. Your Tidal streaming never sounded so good! Tell us what you want and we can set it up for you.

The Prodigy XV certainly can! The system is powered by an AMD APU, which handles 4K very well with HDR up to 30 fps. The Intel-powered Prodigy X2 can also display a crisp 4K image but it’s more limited in its HDR capability.

Yes, you can use an iOS or Android device to control playback. You can even use another computer, or control the system directly with a wireless keyboard and trackpad from your listening position.

The big difference is how they handle video. They sound the same for 2-channel audio, but the XV and X3 models handle 4K HDR beautifully at up to 30 fps. The X2 model works harder to produce a picture that is not quite as stunning. There are a few other minor differences that will not affect most users. The XV and X3 models are very similar, but the X3 model can be offered at a lower price point than the X2 or XV due to changes in component prices. The Neutrik power connector was standard on the Prodigy XV and Prodigy X2 models, but comes as a $100 option on the Prodigy X3. It’s still a lower price than the original Prodigy XV model even with the Neutrik option.

They are similar, except that the Revolution X series has better-sounding audio and power cabling on the inside. It also now uses the superlative Reference audio chipset on the motherboard, and uses our best Baetis Audio Reference daughterboard for truly spectacular AES-EBU and SPDIF outputs.

In addition to the AES-EBU, SPDIF and HDMI outputs, you can opt for an additional audiophile grade USB, I2S or network output, which means pretty much all DACs are covered. We can even build you a custom Prodigy that has only SPDIF (no AES-EBU), to allow you to add two of the following: USB, I2S and network cards. Foregoing AES and SPDIF allows the addition of all three speciality cards – something that is possible, but not recommended. As usual, speak to us about your needs, and we’ll find a solution for you.

The Prodigy, Revolution and Reference X -series are available with or without internally-housed optical drives. If you want to make back up of 4K UHD discs, we’d recommend no internal optical drive and choosing to add an external 4K reading drive instead.

There is a two year parts and labour warranty on these. However, as usual, we always listen to each case on its own merits and do the reasonable thing if you need service outside the warranty period, depending on the circumstances.
