Company products slogan for Aurender, "Who knows, sometime, maybe"

Perhaps they were prototyping in the Joint Industrial Zone & it just wasn't working out for them...

In my case, I became aware of Aurender because after some research, including on this site, I was given the impression that the Berkeley Audio Series 2 DAC would be better than the Bricasti and others. When I searched for a local dealer, the one listed dealer in Southern California was Audio Salon in Santa Monica. When I called Audio Salon, I was advised to consider the Aurender S10 as my server to achieve my goal of high quality, a nice ipad interface, ease of use, and if possible to not have a laptop or a Windows PC as my server. On the Audio Salon website, they list Aurender as a brand they sell, and on the Aurender website, they list Audio Salon as one of their dealers. For me, it seems that there is an Aurender dealer within 30 min of my home. I understand that new products can be kept in limbo to make sure all is just right before distribution, and certain problems can arise leading to delays. In my case, I was advised to select a currently available and reviewed product. I have not decided to get this yet, and will perhaps go see it in person this week. However, hard to do comparative testing given the lack of audio dealers setup for A-B comparisons. Therefore, this forum has actually been a main source of my information for decision making.

I'd like to "dabble" into the world of music servers as well so it will be interesting to me how this plays out for you. I was at the NYC audio show last week and there where a few servers in action, maybe more laptops, but definitely more vinyl. The laptops sounded better than servers, but they where playing mostly high rez files. Don't discount the Bricasti. The BAD and Bricasti are very good, but I'm real smitten with my Bricasti and before it arrived most of my listening was done on a low 5 figure analog setup. Now, that has changed. Always best to listen and have a supportive dealer to lean on. Good luck.

Well.... still undecided, and I actually own 2 Bricasti M7 reverbs with one for my guitar rig and the other for a rehearsal studio PA system. For reverbs, they are considered the very best, and so I started out partial to the Bricasti, but then read here about Berkeley Audio being better than Bricasti for DAC...and I got the feeling that this was based on a comparison.... of course I do not expect everyone to have the same preferences, but hope to just make the right decision.

Steve.......Who knows, you may be right. Perhaps Kim Jung Un put them out of business.
