Pink Faun Ultra 2.16 Reference Music Server/Streamer

he Pink Faun Ultra 2.16 is a state-of-the-art music server and digital transport designed for uncompromising high-end audio systems. Built in the Netherlands with Pink Faun’s obsessive attention to noise reduction, clock precision, and power isolation, the Ultra 2.16 delivers a remarkably pure digital signal - allowing your DAC to perform at its full potential.

At the heart of the Ultra 2.16 is a carefully optimized computing platform engineered specifically for audio playback. Pink Faun strips away unnecessary processes and prioritizes real-time audio handling, creating a stable, low-latency environment for both local music libraries and streaming services such as Roon. The result is effortless playback with exceptional timing accuracy and a natural, analog-like flow to the music.

A defining feature of the Ultra 2.16 is Pink Faun’s proprietary output card architecture. Users can configure the server with a range of dedicated audio output modules — including I²S, USB, AES/EBU, or S/PDIF - each designed with ultra-low-noise regulators and high-precision clocking. These specialized output cards dramatically reduce jitter and electrical interference, ensuring that the digital signal reaching your DAC remains exceptionally clean and stable.

Power supply design is another key element. The Ultra 2.16 uses multiple independent linear power rails to isolate critical circuits such as the CPU, storage, and digital outputs. By separating and stabilizing these power domains, Pink Faun minimizes noise contamination and preserves low-level musical information, revealing greater depth, detail, and dynamic nuance.

The server’s rigid aluminium chassis further contributes to performance by reducing vibration and providing shielding against electromagnetic interference. Inside, carefully selected components and meticulous internal layout ensure optimal signal integrity throughout the system.

Flexible, configurable, and built for reference-level performance, the Pink Faun Ultra 2.16 serves as a true digital source component - combining the convenience of modern streaming with the sonic refinement expected in the world’s finest audio systems.
