I also noticed the SOtM, mentioned it earlier in this topic: http://devialetchat.com/showthread.php?t...2#pid38982 They are the copycats.
It's very similar hardware component wise but it's the chef and the recipe that determine if the sperate ingredients make a nice meal. I think that the software of the microRendu will be better as they are and keep using the SonicOrbiter suite/base which has been around for quite some time. The developer of SonicOrbiter/VortexBox is also a keyplayer/part of the microRendu team. SoTM has to create their own distribution or find one somewhere else. Of course similar applications like MPD will become part of the distribution. However it all remains to be seen which one will be better, one of both is just out and the other will be soon. Perhaps we bet on the wrong horse, all part of the game!
