Chassis

The MAVEN™ chassis is a one-piece aluminum shell with a wall thickness of 0.16 inches (4 mm). All exterior surfaces are hand-brushed, making every chassis one-of-a-kind. Additionally, all parts are anodized to increase natural corrosion-resistance and to give the chassis its final color and unrivaled finish. This makes it a perfect match for any existing home theater setup.

CPU and Graphics Card Overclocking

Our integration of top-shelf components and state-of-the-art liquid cooling solutions allows for custom overclocking of CPU and Graphics cards up to 130%. Our system engineers fine tune several settings to achieve as much performance as possible while maintaining system stability at temperatures well within specifications. All overclocks are stability tested through up to 7 days of of burn-ins and benchmarking.

Audio

We recommend connecting your STEIGER DYNAMICS system to your display via DisplayPort or HDMI. This allows the enjoyment of lossless multi-channel or object-based (bitstreamed) HD Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby ATMOS, DTS Master Audio, and DTS:X. Alternative methods include a direct connection to a TV, AV Receiver, or to any external Audio system (native 5.1 / upmixed 7.1 surround sound via optical S/PDIF or 3.5mm analog audio jacks). We also offer additional dedicated sound cards for high-end analog or studio usage. Switching between sound outputs can be done in Windows or in supported apps.

Standard GPU and Motherboard features: HDMI/DisplayPort lossless bit-streaming (multi-channel/object-based) / 3.5mm HD Audio Jacks / USB (for DAC)

Motherboard Audio replacement: Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus SABRE32-class Hi-res 32-bit/384 kHz PCIe Gaming Sound Card and DAC with Dolby Digital and DTS, Xamp Discrete Headphone Bi-amp, Up to 122dB SNR, RGB Lighting System1 (Analog) / 5.1 (Optical S/PDIF) with AK4493 DAC, ADI OP275 Headphone OP-AMP (16-600ohm), switchable OP-AMPs, 123dB SNR, up to 384kHz 32bit playback, line/mic-in (up to 384kHz, 32bit, 121dB SNR recording)

2.5" Storage

SSD and HDD Storage Drives store all your music, movie libraries, & TV recordings and backup your personal data from the SSD System Drive(s). We recommend SSDs for media editing/encoding (SSDs are 100% quiet and up to 5x faster than HDDs).

3.5" Storage HDD

We recommend HDDs for large movie/music libraries (WD Red drives are silent, power efficient, cool, and hence ideal for 24/7 media servers; 1 TB = 100 Full HD movies or 300k MP3s). Choose up to three 3.5" Storage Drives:

Storage Drive RAID

Configure your optional Storage Drive RAID. If your preferred configuration option is not listed, please request it in the comment field.

In addition, all Media Centers support phone/tablet control (iOS, Android, Windows Phone) and programmable remote controls like the Logitech Harmony. We recommend:
- CyberLink Power DVD enables playback of HD and 3D Blu-rays and supports 7.1 Dolby TrueHD / dts-HD lossless bitstreamed digital surround sound
- JRiver Media Center or MPC-BE player with MadVR plugin for ultimate hardware-based video and audio rendering quality. JRiver also supports Over-The-Air (OTA) and non-encrypted cable live TV.
- Kodi Media Center (former XBMC) provides the highest configurability and plugin support
- Plex Home Theater / Server is the most easy-to-use Media Center and allows pre-configured streaming to mobile devices. Plex does not support additional plugins.
- Shark007 Codec Pack and x64 Components is free and enables playback of a wide range of audio and video file types, incl. divx, flac, flv, mkv, ogg, xvid, mp3, and many more.
