Looking for advice on buying new discontinued music server - would you do it?


I'm tired of streaming music from my pc, so looking at music servers. Looking at Bluesound, Naim, the under $4k crowd. I see some discontinued units for sale but no longer supported by the manufacturer. Looking for advice on whether you would consider purchasing. Given that those servers depend on software, my concern is service in the future.Thanks!Dave

It’s fairly straightforward to find software and hardware support for (most) servers, unless proprietary software/components are being used...which was rare (though somewhat more prevalent now).

The more important consideration has to do with how fast the segment is moving which strongly points to going with a current server. Prices have also fallen so your (I presuming) logic to go with a former "higher end" server at a now lower price doesn’t hold.

Go new and latest.
