BlueSound VAULT 2i High-Res 2TB Network Hard Drive CD Ripper and Music Streamer

The BlueSound VAULT 2i transforms your CD collection into a permanent, bit-perfect digital archive—a network-attached music server that combines precision CD ripping, 2TB of ultra-quiet storage and comprehensive BluOS™ streaming intelligence into a single component that eliminates the need for a computer in your audio system. The VAULT 2i preserves every detail of your original recordings in lossless FLAC format whilst enabling wireless multi-room playback throughout your home, making it the definitive solution for audiophiles unwilling to surrender their physical media to the compromises of compressed streaming.

Bit-Perfect CD Ripping & Storage

The VAULT 2i's precision CD drive captures every bit of your original discs—lossless FLAC, MP3 or uncompressed WAV formats are all supported without limitation. The ultra-quiet 2TB hard drive operates with minimal vibration and power consumption, storing thousands of tracks in bit-perfect quality that surpasses the audio fidelity of any compressed streaming service. Once your collection is ripped and stored, the VAULT 2i becomes a permanent digital archive—your music is yours, preserved exactly as the artists intended, accessible forever without subscription or licensing uncertainty.

Powerful Dual-Core Processing

At the VAULT 2i's core sits a 1GHz dual-core ARM Cortex A9 processor engineered to handle simultaneous streaming to multiple rooms without compromise or buffering. This processing architecture ensures bit-perfect audio delivery regardless of how many Bluesound players are drawing from the VAULT 2i's library—whether one room or ten, the audio signal remains pristine and unsullied.

Comprehensive Connectivity & Import

The VAULT 2i integrates seamlessly into any audio ecosystem. Gigabit Ethernet ensures stable, skip-free high-resolution streaming across your home network, whilst USB ports allow import of existing iTunes libraries and backup of your physical collection. The VAULT 2i becomes the hub of your digital music infrastructure—a single point of truth for your entire audio library, accessible from any Bluesound player in your home.

BluOS™ Multi-Room Excellence

Control your entire music world through the intuitive BluOS Controller app. Stream your personal collection, access major streaming services, tune into internet radio, or explore podcasts—all whilst maintaining the option to play different content in each room simultaneously. The VAULT 2i's powerful processor ensures flawless synchronisation across unlimited rooms, with voice control integration through Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri for hands-free operation.

Who Is It For?

The VAULT 2i is essential for anyone with a substantial CD collection who demands permanent ownership and bit-perfect audio quality. It suits audiophiles unwilling to depend on streaming services for their most valued recordings, listeners building a comprehensive home library, and those who value the security of owning their music rather than licensing access to it.
