Servers: Are we there yet?

@drdkey,  I have not heard about Melco. Before settling with any streamer, be sure to check out the user interface.  From my experience, Aurender has one of the best iOS app compare to any standalone streamer available today.  

I am sure owners of Lumin and Auralic may disagree :-)

I own N10 and IMHO, it's an amazing player.  Pair it with a tube output DAC and you will realize it's full potential. 

Hello again everyone,

It appears this thread has basically died, but tomcy6 did request that after I had listened to my PK100 setup for awhile to post my impressions.  Well, I am still very happy.  It remains difficult to compare to my Meridian G08 cd player because in order to A/B the two players I either have to listen to  the Meridian on my W4S dac or use the cd player without the W4S dac.  With the dac in the picture, the cd player MIGHT be a tad more resolving.  But I am really splitting hairs here.  As always the software has more to do with sound quality than the hardware.  What I mean by that is great recordings sound great either way I play them and lesser recordings sound, well, less good.  I am happy to have a server and do not see myself going back to a stand alone cd player anytime soon.  That being said, I have no plans to get rid of the Meridian, I just play it much less.  Thanks for reading.
