Honestly I just want to mention that I personally am not a huge fan of Computer Audiophile in general, however the reviewer is very clear in caveating his review as a personal opinion which is honorable. I also like that they chose the WideaLab Aurender S10 as their product of the year. I have heard this machine sounding superb in a few systems and it is often used in shows abroad. I suppose it is just the usual rant one gets on their forum (as it happens occasionally on ours) about pricing of these computer-based products that gets me; as I am one to feel that it is OK to pay for the time the designer put into making the product, rather than the sum of just its components......
