Of being inaccurate ;-)

No,

The hardware is the most important part of any design. It is the high end audio manufacturers who are responsible for high end sound. The "core" of what makes "great sound" is NOT the processor. And that is proven by products like the Regen, Intona, etc. And, proven by John and the microRendu PRECISELY because of John's design: in that the differences between John's microRendu and the Cubox running the same OS and having the same processor, - is dramatic in favor of the uRendu. No one who has heard them both asserts that they are comparable.

Using an ARM chip may be about 10% of what represents good sound or the final outcome of the product.

Computer hardware developers contribute nearly nothing.

"Yes, I have a history of proving"

Yourself wrong.

" Remember that battle? ;-)"

Yes I do. And that was an argument in which you presented no reasonable & logical counterpoint, - just personal accusations about my "posting tone." The "multi-function" computer vs "single computer" is centered around your denigration of the importance of hardware, and the cynical perspective towards high end audio manufacturers: which is unfounded. As we've seen with many of these products, it is the high end audio manufacturers who take Shite computer hardware designed for multipurpose, (crappy sound), functions, violate them, or design from the ground up to make a single purpose device that is worlds "better" than a multi-function computer.

Processor chips go into TVs, - but we don't call our TVs computers, - and we don't so that the ARM chip in the Sony TV is the "core" of the TV.

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
