I don't know what this means, but I have heard several music servers with outboard dacs that get close to sounding the equal of vinyl. The best stand alone cd players that I have heard are the Lindemann 820 B and the Exemplar/Shanling scd-3000.
Anyone who has long followed threads on Audiogon, Audioasylum, etc., should know that there is never the slightest consensus on any product. One can only be at a loss for why these lists exist. I have just returned from CES and have been in rooms with others hearing the exact same systems and recordings and again heard no consensus. One often sees YMMV which really should be YMWV (your millage will vary). I suspect it is because our ears are not all alike nor our tastes.
Baranyi, I can well expect that the Lector outperforms the AMR. I did not mean to say that I know of quality servers in the price range. In the range of the AMR, yes. I heard the new Sonic Studio/VRS Amarra at THE Show for one.
