Your post states a price of $5k, which judging by the specification is not unreasonable. However, the text per the link states "less than $1500", which seams very reasonable indeed! Is this some kind of "crowd sourcing" price? What am I missing here?
Looks like a nice bit of kit though! If it will run Roon with optimum sound quality & usability, maybe a bit of a winner.
The original target price of the server in production was, indeed, $1,500. But the recent press reports have now targeted $5K. See this link.
I am eager to finally have the unit in my home. I have my doubts about whether LH Labs can produce a wonderful piece of tablet/phone software on the first lap to operate the device but we shall see.
I'll keep everyone posted.
