UK-based Pinnacle Audio used embedded Linux to build an ultra-high-fidelity, hard-drive-based music server capable of storing roughly 9,000 CDs, with lossless compression. The Athenaeum comes with a Linux-powered Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, which serves as its remote control, and it features a 24-bit, 96kHz… digital-to-analog converter.

With a capacity up to 3TB, the Atheneaum can store about 9,000 CDs, using an open, standard lossless compression format. And, the device can be controlled through an AJAX-based web interface, from any laptop, PC, or other browser-equipped device on the network.
