The Next Generation Begins
Technology exists to serve music.

A New Chapter in SOtM Network Audio
 For more than a decade, the sMS-200 has earned the trust of music lovers around the world, becoming one of SOtM’s most recognized network audio products.
 Throughout this journey, SOtM has remained focused on one fundamental question:
How can digital audio be delivered with greater purity and fidelity?

 Rather than pursuing specifications for their own sake, we have always believed that technology should exist to preserve the integrity of music. This philosophy has driven years of research into ultra-low-noise and ultra-low-jitter technologies, shaping every product we create.
 The sMS-500 carries this philosophy forward while introducing an entirely new hardware architecture developed for the next generation of network audio.
 More than a performance upgrade, the sMS-500 establishes a new foundation designed to meet the evolving demands of modern digital audio while remaining true to SOtM’s uncompromising approach to musical reproduction.

Designed from the Ground Up
 The sMS-500 has been completely redesigned from the motherboard upward.
 Its new hardware architecture integrates every major element—including system design, power architecture, and processing platform—into a dedicated environment optimized exclusively for music playback.
 Rather than maximizing computing performance, every engineering decision has been made to minimize electrical noise, improve signal integrity, and preserve timing accuracy throughout the entire playback chain.
 The result is not simply a faster system, but one capable of reproducing music with greater transparency, naturalness, and emotional realism.
 This newly developed hardware architecture will also serve as the foundation for the next generation of SOtM network audio products.

The Evolution of Eunhasu
 The sMS-500 continues to use SOtM’s proven Eunhasu operating system, now specifically optimized for its new hardware architecture.
 While maintaining the intuitive user experience familiar to existing SOtM users, the software has been refined to fully realize the capabilities of the new hardware platform.
 Improved responsiveness, enhanced stability, and ongoing software development ensure that the sMS-500 is prepared not only for today’s listening environments, but also for the future of network audio.
 Support for Roon Ready, DLNA/UPnP, MPD, Squeezelite, HQPlayer NAA, and other network audio environments allows seamless integration into a wide range of high-end audio systems.

Engineered for Music
 At SOtM, technology has never been the destination. It has always been the means. Reducing electrical noise. Improving timing accuracy. Preserving every subtle nuance contained within the original recording. Every engineering decision is guided by a single purpose: To bring listeners closer to the music.
That philosophy continues in every aspect of the sMS-500.

The Beginning of a New Generation
 The sMS-500 is more than the successor to the sMS-200.
 It marks the beginning of a new generation of SOtM network audio products.
 Built upon an entirely new hardware architecture while carrying forward the philosophy that has defined SOtM for years, the sMS-500 represents the next step in our pursuit of musical excellence.
 The Next Generation Begins.
