Has anyone else noticed how all of the "audiophile" network players now coming out use Squeezelite?
Sonicorbiter SE: $300
SOtM sMS-200: $510 (includes 1-year Roon license: $120)
microRendu: $640 (with power supply: $690)
Bryston BDP Pi: $1300 (actually contains a Raspberry Pi and HiFiBerry HAT: under $100)
Some are even running LMS on these devices. All of them are "headless" but that seems to be the way nowadays.

Musical Fidelity M6 Encore. Not even headless. But out of that price range...

^ Interesting. Hadn't seen that piece before. Had they given it a larger drive and allowed it to be a server, it could be the center of a high-end hi-fi as well as be the heart of a whole-house system. Would also help justify the £3300 price.

It does come with a server and the drive is exchangeable. But I think 2TB is still good enough for most people. Originally Posted by Apesbrain
