13th Note HiFi Review of Network Streamers

The M5 sounds interesting. Thanks for the heads up!

The reviewer should have tested the latest Innuos which is in fact better sounding. Big miss.  

@small-green-computer  Andrew, thanks for sharing. 

I don’t have the patience for 27 minutes, when S.P. COULD have written it down and saved each of his followers 20 minutes. (I just don't "get" video reviews.)

AND I think "shoot-outs" are stupid. People have preferences. They are not absolutes.

BUT I have direct experience. I tried the M5 in my system for about a week and compared it to the Auralic Aries G1. I could not hear a difference. The Aries has many more features, and I could trade in my old one, so I bought that. The M5 has other virtues, one being a domestic manufacturer who (by all accounts) offers outstanding support.
Just one point of reference, with one set of ears, for the M5
