"It is a PURPOSE BUILT Audio computer, not one off the assembly line in China with a hundred parts that have nothing to do with audio and stuffed with bloated O/S's and software that again, have nothing to do with audio."
Now that is a serious exaggeration ...
"You can make all the derogatory comments you like about a product like this but the fact is it sounds better than any "optimized" off the shelf computer running Jriver, Audirvana, or Pure Music. Yes, i have heard them ALL."
But there are still lots of stuff out there you have not heard. I feel you are overestimating the superiority of the one box solution. At the end of the day IMO it is really the same, not better. It is all a mater of choice, dedication and what you are willing to spend.
