Voxtok wants to revolutionize the Hi-Fi music experience

Sound is something that is subjective. Some listeners prefer more emphasis on the bass, while others prefer to stress on the clarity of the sound. Some don’t seem to bother and are perfectly happy using default speakers, as long as they are able to hear sounds coming from it. Now if you fancy yourself an audiophile, or someone who’s just trying to get the best audio possible, Voxtok has a Kickstarter project you might be interested in. Voxtok is a company that develops what they’re calling next-generation Hi-Fi systems. The Kickstarter project in question is for a device known as the VXK Capsule. Basically what it does is that it combines an audiophile grade music player that will support a range of lossless audio file formats, a home music server that will let you stream songs to anywhere in your home, local storage with the potential to add more hard drives via its SATA slots, and even a CD ripper when you connect an external CD reader via USB.

Headquartered in the US, with R&D in Montpelier, France, Voxtok is currently putting the final touches to what’s described as a new generation of Hi-Fi equipment. The company’s Hi-Fi system is made up of a VXK Capsule that acts as both audiophile-grade music player and home music server, a mobile device app for remote control and more, and a dedicated cloud service for music library backup and playback while out and about. Two generations of prototypes have been developed, and a pre-production run of alpha units secured. Now Voxtok is looking for crowdfunding success to get its end-to-end solution into the hands of music lovers. The Voxtok system promises easy access to high quality tunes in a multi-faceted Hi-Fi system. It combines aspects of multi-room music systems like those from Sonos with high end digital music hubs like the Minx Xi or Muso, while also throwing in network attached storage, cloud integration and app-based control and access. At its heart is the VXK Capsule. This stylish and elegant music player is reported capable of supporting most digital music file formats up to a resolution of 24-bit/192 kHz, both lossless (FLAC, WAV and DSD , for example) and compressed (MP3 and OGG). It comes with a minimum of 1 TB of integrated HDD or SSD storage. The unit doesn’t have its own speakers, but outputs via analog (RCA/XLR) or digital (BNC/SPDIF) connections to active or amplified speakers.
