Dedicated Music Server/Player

Another option (not mentioned yet) is Grimm Audio MU1...if it fits your needs from a features perspective. The sound quality is reportedly up there with the best.

@willgolf  You did not list Pink Faun. Did you also consider them? If yes / no...your reasons? Thanks.

@verdantaudio  Thanks. 

@verdantaudio  Antipodes has moved to a single chassis. For example the K50. 

Asking to clarify if you continue to recommend a separate server component and a separate player component, i.e. the two box approach?

Adding the 432 Evo to the growing list. 

Here is another option and review from Positive Feedback:

Euphony Audio Summus

@willgolf   Thanks.
