Hello, I named it that but I don't know what it will be called.
It's up to you to change it if you need to... or keep it (I don't take copyright... just a discount :P  even if you name it like that)..
A little teasing... some info ?

The black cube was a metaphore :)

 

But in short: it's a streamer/server, it will support UPnP/DLNA servers, NAA and more. There are 6 ethernet connectors, because it can also act as a switch and router (!). It has a SATA port, so you can use it as a complete server/streamer.  The 'black cube' means that user don't need to be computer savvy - he just needs to connect 3 cables (AC, lan, usb) and press power button and open a dedicated app. 

 

More details in 2022

 

Happy Holidays!

 

Regards, 

Marcin

I was ready to test a Zen Stream to replace my USBridge under GentooPlayer (NAA with ipv6 direct to a JCAT Net).
I'll have to wait a bit... until when ?  :rolleyes:

2 months before the first news to launch the order... 2/3 weeks before delivery.
March is not far away.   ;)
Is that enough time to set aside a few bucks or do we need a few more months to hit the target ?  :P

Here we are : March 2022 ! And component crisis is still there and probably creates delay in release (like for the iOS app). Let's see  :)

What components are necessary for the iOS App? The miracle chip? The wonder button? 😜😜😜😜

System doesn’t matter - if you have mine.

The 'black box' is actually silver/black ;)

 

I have a complete product in a prototype enclosure running and playing as I'm typing this text. I don't want to show the actual picture of the enclosure yet, because it's in raw aluminum. The electronics, power supplies and final enclosures are ordered. If there are no further delays I hope to launch it in September. 

 

Here is a teaser:
