For large music libraries please consider one of our faster systems. (Particularly if you intend to run Roon server) (Note that 30GB of system disk is taken by operating system)
If running Roon core on the Mite please limit upscaling to 192k and turn-off library scanning (or leave throttled) If you wish to run many applications concurrently you may require one of our more powerful systems.
*Mite HUB version with USB/SPDIF adds SPDIF output at higher quality than Sonicorbiter SE (SOSE) optical or coax for use with devices such as Devialet, NAIM etc. Typical use as Roon endpoint. Much more powerful. Can also run server functions (for small libraries) (See also our BNC option for NAIM use)

Roomify older devices: Use SPDIF options or the Sonore Bridge SW. Mite can connect old NAIM/Linn non-Roon ready units.
With NAIM you can stream to other devices in-sync by starting your playback on the NDS, opening the Naim application, and accessing the 'now playing' screen. Click on multi-room icon and select the other devices you wish to stream to

Mite-ily impressed - Phil L - 22 March 2021
Although the Mite is the entry level server it has transformed my listening pleasure - a move I should have made years ago! The combination of the Mite, Nova Sonicorbiter software and my favourite Dac has been a step up from my previous set up. Easy to install, easy to manage and control - such a difference from what I have been used too. After years of searching for the server that actually meets all of my needs I have found it! Many thanks to Martin for his freely given advice.
Mite - Jon - 21 July 2020
Had the mite for a few days now and it is just a fantastic bit of kit. Fast, easy rips and back up, and sounds great, even better I would say than amazon music hd ultra files. I previously had an 11 year old Vortexbox appliance that was still working and after discussion with Martin plumped for the Mite. Martin comms and help as usual was fantastic and answered many many emails on all days and at all times. Thanks again Martin for your support and service, perhaps will get another unit in another 11 years !!!
Impressive Mite - john Williams - 17 June 2020
After purchasing a ISO Regen from Martin a server was the next recommendation,instead of my PC.I bought the Mite to try and it is fantastic sounding and versatile.Not only do I play Qobus but there are hundreds of internet radio stations especially Paradise Radio.Martin is generous with his time and gives excellent advice, he sold me the least expensive server to try but I will more then likely exchange it for the Prestige 2 or 3 because I have a big system.The customer service from Audiostore is exemplary,thanks to Martin.
Brilliant and Amazing - John Watkins - 24 March 2017
I wanted to store nearly 700 CDs, that have sat in my garage for the last two years, since moving house. I contacted Vortexbox for advice and Martin gave me a number of options, which was very helpful. My decision to go with the mite was based on this advice and the previous review. I went with the 60GB SSD/500GB HD. Again with Martins help I got started. NOVA is great, its easy to use and the results are more than enough for my needs. I'm using my Squeezebox Touch to play back and its great to see an album cover for all the Titles. I am yet to use Bliss but based on my experience so far, Im sure it will be good too.
The mighty Mite. - Nigel Little - 15 January 2017
I have just replaced a five and a half year old VB appliance with a Mite with 60gb SSD and a 500GB hard drive. Martin as always has been brilliant. His patience in going through the options makes it such a pleasure to do business and as a returning customer I can wholeheartedly recommend. The Mite is faster, quieter and sounds even better that the VB appliance that has served me so well. Its performance simply belies its size.
As most of my albums have already been ripped this made sense. To be fair I have ripped some albums with an external drive and it was so straightforward I don't know why I had any reservations. I run two Naim Streamers from it a Superuniti and a Qute using the N-stream app via an I-pad.Both seam to run effortlessly. The Nova software is a dream to use,finds the artwork and just gets on with it. If you want an amazingly compact music server that you can use with a network streamer or straight into a DAC check this out. You will not be disappointed.For its money prepare to be amazed.
