Excellent review in a difficult area.
Interesting that even if you weight the sound quality issue at 5 times the level of the others, the Aurender comes out top.
Personally I would find it tough to live with a product with significant shortcomings in set up and operation, in an area where many will switch to a streamer to make operation easier.
Maybe the market is still in its infancy and in three years we will look back and laugh at the inadequacies of some products we see now.
