I think the gorilla in the room is rapidly becoming Roon and how manufacturers accommodate it.
It's all about the sound? Absolutely. For me though, the interface and usability is also VERY important. There is no point having a system that sounds superb but annoys the hell out of you every time you use it.
Having started your comment stating that "its all about the sound", you then slip in the Roon comment, so I guess we are more or less thinking the same thing?
Yes we are. The combination of great sound and a killer app made the Aurender a no brainier for me. Nowadays, Roon seems to be the best GUI around and when integrated (I hope) with hardware as an app may allow folks like us wider selections.
