Music Servers-Why so few?

I finally found a really good server that competes with my Mac Mini/Hynes supply. It is from New Zealand, the Antipodes. Even sounds the same playing .wav and FLAC files.

Personally I have found that most of the "Large" well-known companies don't do a good job anyway. The results are mediocre at best. The Bryston is an exception. Quite good.

I would not even consider one that will not stream out the USB ports. Get the Master Clock out of it and you will potentially have something very fine.

Auraliti uses Asyncronus usb,as well as separate isolation on a separate
Card, and they have a new 3 plus lb separate power supply they designed
I have been waiting 2 months for it to finally arrive .for $1k with upgraded power supply ,a very good player that also plays DSD with wifi to playback your library from a separate hard drive you control your whole library
From your IPad ,or droid ,and Auraliti helped design the Bryston bdp.
For less then half the price the Auraliti does everything ,as well.

I owned an Auraliti and its quite good - but my Mac Mini running Audirvana was clearly better as a source.

The reason I think there are so few Music Servers is a Mac Mini and a Ipad Mini as remote is really good, very convenient, fairly cheap and a lot of work has been done in producing high quality players like Audirvana. Why bother with anything else?

IMO, Auralic and Aurender pushing the envelope in ease, quality and wide range of price levels. 

The Aurender N100H is practically a 'steal' for anyone wants to own a high quality streamer as an alternate to mac/windows based system.  

Agree with Audioengr, the Antipodes DX was a significant improvement over a pretty good Mojo mini in my system.  Better body, tonal density, dimensionality and quieter.  The DX has two USB outputs, one that is powered and the unpowered output I use since my DAC powers the USB internally.
