I perfectly agree with you. My purpose was not to criticize the Mutec which I am perfectly happy with, but to elaborate on a competitor, which still is very unknown as he is not ready for export and has no international distribution network.
Furthermore, Acousence could comply with the audiophiles' requests (less industrial look, with only one knob, see picture here (http://www.artistic-fidelity.de/index.php/en/)) and a 'reasonable' price, for someone like me, who is not willing to give-up the flexibility of a computer for a music server.
I am probably less skilled than you are in DIY matters, and less adventurous too. So I will probably not go the Mutec's 'tuning' way on my own :-)
