Overview
The exaSound Gamma Music Server is a reference-quality Roon Core Server and UPnP server.
The Roon Core manages your music collection, streams to your audio devices, and stores the Roon
database on the Gamma Server internal SSD drive. Music files can be stored on internal disk storage,
USB drives and NAS. Roon Core manages content from TIDAL and Qobuz and streams music to Roon
Ready, AirPlay, Sonos, USB and many other audio devices. Playback is controlled by the Roon Remote
app available on all platforms. Roon offers bit-perfect playback or DSD / PCM upsampling, stereo and
multichannel playback.
The built-in UPnP Server can stream music files stored on the internal SSD storage or attached USB
drives. Compatible player Apps include MconnectHD, BubbleUPnP Hi-Fi Cast and many other.
The exaSound Gamma can serve a double duty as server and player/renderer when exaSound DAC is
attached via USB.
Unique asynchronous packet streaming over USB developed by exaSound guarantees that CPU load
cased by multiple server tasks does not affect the timing accuracy and precision of local USB playback. In
this configuration the Gamma Music Server is a certified RoonReady player, Signalyst NAA endpoint,
UPnP/ OpenHome and AirPlay player.
exaSound Gamma Music Server supports most high-resolution PCM music formats including FLAC, AIFF,
WAV, as well as DSD formats including DSF and DFF. Gamma Music Server offers ENclusiv™ High
Resolution Audio (HRA) support: PCM sampling rates up to 384kHz at 32bit resolution and DSD up to
12.28 MHz (4X DSD or DSD256).
The exaSound Gamma Music Server can be used without any configuration right out of the box.
Customization and configuration options are managed via a Web browser.
exaSound Gamma Music Server is a multi-level device. It can be used in simple and most-advanced
network configurations.
With features like remote upgrades and remote support, the Gamma Music Server is future-proof and
backed by the exceptional exaSound customer service.
Connecting Third-party DACs via USB
Third-party DACs supporting USB Audio 2.0 standard can be connected to the Gamma Music Server,

network-connected devices.
