Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy


Not sure if anyone caught this, but it's quite the take down of some of the very expensive server/streamer stuff out there. It seems logical to me -- especially when he prices out what some of the internal components are -- but this is above my pay grade so I cannot confirm. It's here: https://youtu.be/MMSC9-qQ_K4

Wonder if others agree or disagree with the basic takedown.

I enjoyed Mikey's video and I see his point. But he defended Aurender and their proprietary parts. And Jeff Rowland should not be included in any discussion of overpriced amps. You can buy his Model 125 for $3,000 and it kills for value. Or you can max out at his top models. Jeff Rowland is beyond reproach. You can't compare any of his amps to a music streamer.

Anyhow, I have been looking at HiFi Rose's 150 as a decent value. But I don't need a DAC so hopefully they come out with a 150 sans DAC. I'd like a decent music streamer but not above $2,000.
He sells Rowland so if course he praises him. He also sells some extremely high dollar streamers( rockna). Bet he didn’t bash them. If there’s 5k in parts l, I’d consider 20k a deal for retail cost. 
How I am going to get my time back?

I hoped to see how different machines look inside and how those parts look.

Instead of that, I got to watch some messy-looking guy wave his hands all throughout the video. Why am I supposed to believe him?

Click, click, click. Bait successful.
the ocd guy is a real enthusiast, very intellectually curious and knows alot, certainly makes some good points

but he is really hard to watch
@hilde45 OP

I can so agree with what you say - and how you phrase it. 

I wish I had your command of the English language in making your point, 10/10!

No warble, no waffle and put so succinctly - that - is a gift! 😊
