Mechanical perfection and masterful craftsmanship

The Z1 Plus features a robust aluminum alloy chassis that effectively protects against vibration, dust, and noise, ensuring excellent sound quality in any environment. Its efficient, fanless design keeps the CPU and system cool while minimizing fan noise and electrical interference. Improved EMI absorption with higher permeability (>120 @1MHz) also reduces internal digital circuit noise from components such as DRAM, CPU, SSD, network interface, and USB signals.

It features a state-of-the-art cooling system that includes graphene material and a copper heatsink to dissipate heat from the CPU and SSD to the chassis. This innovative approach ensures a lower temperature, reduces internal noise, and creates a stable environment for optimal audio playback.

The EMI noise filter technology of the Rhein Z1 Plus helps to reduce noise.
