I can guarantee you that a Mini ITX motherboard is not PURPOSE BUILT to be an Audio Computer. It is stuffed with tons of general purpose parts for general purpose computing, many having no relevance to audio at all and are most likely manufactured in China/Taiwan as are most PC motherboards.
By limiting the functionality of the Operating System by removing non essential services on this computer, and eliminating the display, the manufacturer is doing exactly what many inmates here are doing with their general purpose music servers (computers).
If the Bryston BDP series is based on Auraliti architecture as you mentioned, then I guess all those Bryston buyers are being duped into believing it's not a computer??
