Its motherboard, CPU, and RAM were selected through blind listening comparisons rather than spec sheet alone, paired with a linear power supply (LPS) also using EM Cell technology, and a tunable ULF bias circuit adapted from the Galileo PowerCell line. For the highest performance, two Voodoo units can be configured together — one as Roon Core, one as Bridge — so each server focuses on a single task. Internal storage is available in 500GB, 2TB, or 8TB capacities, with external NAS or USB SSD storage recommended for best results. Voodoo ships with a 5ft Atmosphere SX Euphoria power cable, an SR Master Fuse, and MiG 4.0 isolation footers included. As an authorized Synergistic Research dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you configure a Voodoo as a standalone Roon endpoint, or pair it with a second Voodoo or a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/synergistic-research-quark\"\u003eQuark\u003c\/a\u003e as a dedicated Core and endpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Technologies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectromagnetic Cell technology, shared with the PowerCell and Active Ground Block lines, conditioning the internal DC power supply and computing circuitry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLinear power supply (LPS) using EM Cell technology, shared with the UEF Ethernet Switch and Network Router\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTunable ULF bias circuit with 4 settings: Blue, Green, Red, or off\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotherboard, CPU, and RAM selected through blind listening comparisons\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInternal storage options: 500GB, 2TB, or 8TB; external NAS or USB SSD recommended for best performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2x USB input\/output ports — one for DAC connection, one for external storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRuns Roon software (Roon account required); can be configured as a dedicated Core\/Bridge pair with a second Voodoo or a Quark\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCNC-machined aircraft aluminum and carbon fibre chassis with bronze\/carbon-fibre top panel, fanless passive cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips with a 5ft Atmosphere SX Euphoria power cable, SR Master Fuse, and MiG 4.0 isolation footers included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eULF Bias Settings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlue (default)\u003c\/strong\u003e — a laid-back midrange with a linear transition from low to high frequencies, for a large, enveloping soundstage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGreen\u003c\/strong\u003e — a slightly more forward midrange with added bass emphasis\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed\u003c\/strong\u003e — recommended for recordings with significant phase information or holographic soundstaging, including electronic, hip-hop, and some large-scale classical recordings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOff\u003c\/strong\u003e — disables the ULF generator entirely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoftware platform\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoon (Roon account required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2x USB (1 to DAC, 1 for external storage)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal storage options\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500GB, 2TB, or 8TB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded power cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAtmosphere SX Euphoria, 5ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSR Master Fuse, MiG 4.0 isolation footers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCNC-machined aircraft aluminum and carbon fibre, bronze\/carbon-fibre top panel, fanless\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.1\"W x 11.5\"D x 3.35\"H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePress \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Voodoo Streamer was featured alongside the SR Network Switch and SR Router in a 3-in-1 review by Robert Taylor for \u003cem\u003eThe Absolute Sound\u003c\/em\u003e, February 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVoodoo FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat digital outputs are available on the Voodoo?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTwo USB input\/output ports — one connects to your DAC, the other can be used for external storage.
