The W20 is (obviously) not under discussion.
Why not bring in the DCS CD stack into the discussion or cans of tomatoes in regard to other irrelevancies, and silly analogies: since you have zero evidence. Bring up again for us, other absurd speculations: such as the high end audio companies will collude together to make sure that they get good reviews.....
Shall i research for you some classes in logic? Ad hominem is still available, - well, - not quite.

No, but you address every post about streamers/renderers/purpose built products with same old "overpriced computer" nonsense, pointing out esoteric "flaws" in your target of the day.
WITHOUT ever have heard ANY ONE THEM.
Rinse. Repeat.
Do you follow everyone around the forum insisting that the only solution to quality audio is a streamer? Sure seems like it.
You're the one posting illogical shite. You can't "let it go," - and have to constantly preach.

Abe's point is a good one. It rings true to me, in that I have a Mytek DAC.
All the problems of hardware/software compatibility that arise and complicate operating systems and cause support costs, overhead, and general cussedness do not magically go away when they are put into a package and called an "appliance". The resulting box is a computer and it has all of the negative aspects of computers.
One could probably find a way to add device support for some of the DACs by hacking the operating system. However, anyone with the ability to do this would be much better served building his own customized "computer", rather than pay a large markup over the base hardware for system integration that doesn't integrate his system. In the case of the Mytek, I did not try to see if I could get it to work on the USB of my Raspberry Pi. Among other reasons, the Pi used an ARM processor and the Linux binary driver was for Intel architecture only. The source code was proprietary to Mytek's vendor and thus it was a no-go. Depending on the processor in the Aurender this might or might not be an issue.

""The resulting box is a computer and it has all of the negative aspects of computers.""Actually not. It doesn't have noisy power supplies, inconsistent USB bus outputs, noisy chip fans, PCI bus, video noise, CD drives...
The W20 is a file server with a hard drive.
The has a FPGA DAC, correct? Would anyone would use it with a MyTek level DAC?
Their posts are about making negative judgments solely on the basis of price: without having any corroborative experiences, with commensurate devices.

Same broken record BS... or in you case CD.. Amazing..

Yes Tony please remove you trash DAC from the streamer conversation!!!
I guess the MyTek is only suitable for use in trailer parks!

Same ignorant cowardice hiding behind self delusions....

How would you know? You're too afraid to post your system, or relate any experiences, (yet make wild claims), - in your zeal to close off that mind....

I have posted what I use many times... smh...
SMH....
I wouldn't have asked if you had.... or, - if it was listed under "Inmate Systems."

I am using Bose 901s driven by a 2.5W SE 45 Amp with a Dynaco PAT4 preamp.
I did not know that was a regulation...

Why are you so defensive about your precious streamers? There are several great solutions available and streamers are just one choice. A choice that is not well suited for all users.
Is that too hard to understand?
In fact, I would bet that there are more general purpose PC/Mac users here than those who use streamers.
I am not being defensive, - I have only added my corroboration to what others have said, based on my experience. You're extrapolating: why are you being so defensive about your computers??
""There are several great solutions available and streamers are just one choice. A choice that is not well suited for all users.""
Agreed, and I have stated this several times....

Could be a good bet. Do you wanna take a poll? Some of these products are so new. Yet, there SEEM to be a TON of people here using Squeezebox's, SONOS, some Bluesounds.. etc.

I really don't care if inmates use streamers, CD players, PCs, or Macs, but if it matters to YOU then go right ahead and take a poll.
So why bring it up?

Only those who have nothing better start polls.
They don't seem very useful in recent elections.
