Best music server for the money

If you are coming to Newport Beach show this weekend, you can hear the latest Antipodes server in Hilton 1001. You will not be disappointed.

New Mac Mini with Amarra for less than $1,000.00

Septmous, in the sub $3k there is nothing even close to the Baetis Revelation II. The design of taking the sound right off the motherboard; the flexibility of 8 USB connectors; six of which are 3.0; a BNC out right from the mother board; wifi capable if you want it. Nothing comes close to design, quality and flexibility. If attending the Newport Show, please visit room 608 at the Hilton; the Baetis will be used as his digital server and Jonny Wilson can answer most questions about it. Steve N is a dealer for the Antipode, but it is rudimentary and obsolete in its design, but he pushes it anyway because he's a dealer. I have 11T of music attached to my Baetis now with room for one more 4T HD external drive. This player also plays back Blue Ray discs beautifully. Don't buy any of the other recommendations until you do your home work and research and listen to a Baetis. An updated Reference version is in the works and will be released sometime this fall.

Maniac, Are you sure Steve is a dealer for Antipodes. Antipodes lists Perotta Consulting as an authorized dealer, which is where I heard the Antipodes server.

I'm curious about both of these servers. Have you heard them both?

Hifimaniac,

Have you AB tested your Baetis to other servers? I am asking because there seem to be very few people who heard more than one server let alone AB tested it, and every such experience and sharing of info is priceless in this underdeveloped and under reviewed area.
