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.

@lalitk Holy crap that Taiko looks like one of the best built audio devices I've ever seen. And 700,000 microfarads of capacitance for a streamer/server??!!  Honestly just based on build quality that looks like its well worth the $26K they're asking. No comment on it otherwise for obvious reasons.
My music server is a broken down DELL computer that I took from the trash heap of an old employer. I figure a audiophile music server is a much quieter machine than mine. However, I use Fibre Optical cable from my network switch to my Sonore OpticalRendu then USB to my DAC.

I cannot figure out how this is not as good or maybe even better than any audiophile music server. 
I would be more interested in this if he knew that the bill on his hat goes in front.
@jond,

Taiko Extreme has set the standards for others to follow. I am patiently waiting for Taiko Mini Extreme to come out later this year. 
I really don’t understand the point for bashing any products based on they component value. If they sound bad then sure let us know, but estimating component value is completely useless. OCD HiFi guy would be watchable if he would just keep commenting about sound quality and device matching... hmmm maybe not. I realized that I don’t value his opinions at all.
