Yes, Auraliti is just a PC in a box
Intel Atom Mini-ITX general purpose COMPUTER motherboard. Note the connector layout.
This version has USB Ports instead of the Analog RCA jacks in the pic J.Mac posted
The SOtM USB card is installed horizontally instead of the Analog card with RCA jacks
Here's the PC with Analog RCA jacks that J.Mac had originally posted

It's all speculation.
Perhaps they sourced something much better sans the on board video
Doubtful that it's that one, as from what I saw at the show, the Ethernet port is not located where it is in your on the board in your link, with a different USB bus.
I do know that the Senore Rendu does NOT have any kind of PC-like mainboard.
Even the one that you posted, at least has no PCI slots.

In my first post, - I said 3 products........
The product that they had at the show was NOT in any way a PC in that it had no video cards, USB bus, or DAC.
I should've said ONE not 3........
I am happy that someone has added a 4th or 5th one of these to the Rendu, Aurailic, Sim Audio Mind, group....
Cheers,

The L1000 is still just a PC. They're a very small company, so it's very hard to imagine them doing a ground up design of a system board. If that particular model doesn't have onboard video, they've probably just found a different motherboard to put into a different case.
Probably a good assumption. From what I've read, it's Linux based so whatever they're using under the hood, it's a COMPUTER of some sort, most likely using PC components.
one couldn't spend the time to select various component parts and figure out which ones sound better that others.
Heck, we've been doing that with resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, tubes, transistors and various other components for decades.
At the end of the day, the ear is the final arbiter.
