Popular Post BigAlMc Posted December 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2018 Interesting review Rajiv. In response to some of the comments, rather than the review, I don't think that $1600 is too bad when you consider: Custom OS Custom case OCXO clocking Collaboration with Intel Memory selected on latency Customer support So rather than looking down on this as an 'overpriced NUC', I see this as making the whole NUC option available to the large number of audio enthusiasts who have no desire to start building and tinkering with home built solutions. Turnkey and fully supported will be a winning solution and well worth the premium to many. Also the OCXO clocking improvements are not possible for all but the most technically gifted enthusiasts. The counter arguments are that given the time Adrian spent on this, Rajivs finding that the BIOS is not fully optimal seems disappointing. The potential for quickly falling behind (assuming further discoveries or advances in NUC boards) is accurate and needs considered. But that can be said of all products including the current trending NUCs! It's just that the upgrade costs to the latest greatest NUC9i7OMG!™️ will likely be comparatively more reasonable ? Overall I say kudos to TLS for their innovation and making the NUC approach accessible to many that otherwise would have been excluded. Cheers, Alan PS Dear Intel, I've trade marked my invention of the NUCxi7OMG! range but I'm open to offers accompanied by large cheques! ? tapatrick, gstew, austinpop and 3 others 5 1 Synergistic Research Powercell UEF SE > Sonore OpticalModule (LPS-1.2 & DXP-1A5DSC) > EtherRegen (SR4T & DXP-1A5DSC) > (Sablon 2020 LAN) Innuos PhoenixNet > Muon Streaming System > Grimm MU1 > (Sablon 2020 AES) > Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC > PS Audio M1200 monoblocks > Focal Sopra No2 speakers Link to comment
