FredericV Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 We did that test. More specific one of my resellers did the test. I can state that the music server source we produce, beats his very expensive CEC drive costing 28.000 € according to my reseller. This source (432 EVO MASTER) was taken to the Munich show in 2017, in the Aries Cerat Room, and also this CEC transport and a Vyger turntable was installed in the demo room in the MOC. We only played with the server and vinyl. The room won best of show from Hifi Pig & AVShowrooms. We also ripped a Bach CD in his Belgian demo room, than played it from the server vs live played on the CEC both using his Aries Cerat DAC, and the server had more depth and soundstage. Server was in bitperfect mode. Do not expect it to be very easy to build something that will beat his CEC. Probably windows is not going to cut it, and you'll need a custom Linux build like what we did and a lot of tuning, your own PSU design, .... But it's not impossible.
