> How these perform next to, say an Aurender, is quite close. The Aurender has a bit of an edge but not enough for me to invest in them.

“[the aurender]… is better than the mac mini… [but] wasn’t enough better to scrap the minis”

> Oh, for goodness sake. Let’s all take a deep breath. If I have ruffled feathers please accept my apologies. Also, try reading my comment again. The Aurender, which is the only streamer I have auditioned here in recent months is better than the Mac mini and I said so. I also said it wasn’t enough better to scrap the Minis, especially when I am weeks away from our own. I love the passion, but… Let’s enjoy what remains of the fine weather and then there’s the weekend coming up. slight_smile
