The Waversa Systems WCORE 2.0 Roon Core Server offers a premium solution for audiophiles seeking a high-performance and ultra-quiet server for their Roon setup. Designed with Waversa's custom Linux OS, it's fully optimised for network play functionality, ensuring minimal noise occurrence and seamless operation.

Equipped with an OCXO clock for exceptional stability and precision in timing, the WCORE supports four Ethernet hub ports, each synchronised with the clock for reliable performance. Its unibody housing ensures noise protection and fan-less operation, guaranteeing durability and optimal performance in high-end audio applications.

Storage-wise, the WCORE features support for a 2.5-inch SSD/HDD and M.SATA slot, providing ample inbuilt storage for large music libraries. Its network port is powered by Waversa's proprietary WLPS technology, delivering clean power and ensuring pure signal transmission.

The WCORE runs on a 48V high-voltage power system with twin lithium-ion batteries, ensuring clean power delivery to both network ports and audio circuitry for optimal digital signal performance. With its comprehensive feature set, including Roon Core Server functionality, DLNA support, and battery-powered Ethernet ports, the WCORE stands out as a versatile and reliable option for audio enthusiasts.

Unibody Housing

All Waversa products are built with high-quality aluminium chassis skilfully produced by an expensive CNC process. The chassis features individual segments for each module, providing protection from external noise and harmful vibration, thereby maximising audio performance.

 

Storage

WCORE fully supports Roon Core server storage. It features a 2.5-inch SSD/HDD and M.SATA slot, providing sufficient inbuilt storage for large libraries. With its lightning-quick search ability, WCORE offers efficient and convenient access to your music collection.

 

Network Port

The network interface is critical for optimal Roon performance. WCORE is equipped with a high-quality OCXO clock and battery power-based 4-port Ethernet hub, ensuring the transmission of the purest streamed signal and seamless WNDR transmission to other Waversa devices.

 

Transformer Based Linear Power Supply

Featuring Waversa’s proprietary WLPS (Waversa Linear Power Supply) technology, a large transformer-based linear power supply generates clean power. To further boost performance, this is coupled with a lithium-ion battery power supply to provide power to all critical audio circuits.

Waversa’s Battery Management System (BMS) is also featured, where a single bank of batteries is charged while the other is being used, maximising battery lifespan and ensuring uninterrupted power supply.

 

Optimised Roon Environment

Waversa’s custom Linux OS enables the implementation of efficient and compact software, specifically designed for optimal performance within the Roon environment. Automatic notifications make it simple to activate software updates, which can be easily accessed through the Waversa WRemote App.

Since Waversa products are software-driven, new features can be added in the future to enhance usability and performance, ensuring continued innovation and flexibility.

 

Power Supply

Key to the performance of the WCORE is the 48V high-voltage power system that feeds the Waversa BMS (Battery Management System), which comprises twin lithium-ion batteries.

Both the network ports and key audio circuitry are provided with the cleanest possible power to maximise digital signal performance, ensuring optimal operation and audio quality.
