    The Beast

    ReQuest Audio Switzerland has created the ultimate Luxury Music Server for the discerning listener, providing
    specialized High End distributors and dealers the ultimate solution for their clients.

    The first audio server ever that was developed to be perfect to the last detail. A result of combining knowledge
    and experience in High-End manufacturing and a passion for music.

    Operation and control of the features and setting as adjusted on the build in 7” High Definition Touchscreen
    using software developed specifically for this purpose

    THE BEAST can be fully used and operated without access to the Internet. No computer is needed and the unit
    can be used as soon as you take it out of the box. The server comes with its dedicated integrated ripping station
    and special ripping software.
    The Operating System, Control Software and
    library software are all Linux based and written
    by our own engineers and have been optimized
    over the last 12 years. For the metadata, the
    server is connected to the Licensed Data base
    library from GRACENOTE.

    The impressive piece of high-end technology


    has a stable and zero resonance chassis fully
    made out of high-grade aluminium.

    Each of the main components of the server has


    its own dedicated sealed enclosure to prevent
    any interference and guarantees a perfect
    protection from distortions. Wire paths are
    optimized and are located inside sealed
    enclosures.

    THE BEAST is available with internal storage of


    0.96 TB or 1.92 TB SSD. When adding a NAS
    drive to the system it is possible to add as much
    external storage as needed. Our own special
    software allows you to decide whether new
    media fils are stored internally or externally.
    That means high-end recordings can be stored
    on the internal SSD and the lower quality files
    on an external storage (NAS only)

    By adding a ReQuest Film Player, THE BEAST


    can be used for video playback and storage
    (NAS recommended). The Beast can rip and
    store both DVD and BLU-RAY formats.

    The User friendly web browser Interface allows easy editing of Metadata and can be used to configure THE
    BEAST. The built-in interface allows controlling the server from any mobile device or Computer (browser must
    support HTM5).
    Another unique service is the online support system – ARQ LINK. Over the years we have developed a reporting
    system to monitor our products. The daily reporting for each BEAST guarantees a perfect support and unmatched
    customer service.

    It is possible to synchronise multiple iTune libraries in both ways (export and import), this way iTunes may be used
    as an editing software.

    The server will encode each media into lossless formats such as WAV or FLAC and simultaneously it can encode a
    MP3 file for syncing and streaming purposes. The server will always play the lossless file. The MP3 files can be
    streamed to any mobile device inside the network or even via the Internet. The same thing can be done with
    movies.

    THE BEAST can synchronize music in full format with customer’s other BEASTs of ReQuest Audio products in
    different locations. Each location then becomes a backup of the Master BEAST. When adding music or editing a
    playlist on the Master BEAST, each other BEAST/ReQuest device of the same owner will have the same data in
    minutes.
