Jeff Fritz, der Chefredakteur des US-Online-Magazins „UltraAudio“ hat seine „Hits und Misses“ der CES 2014 aufgeschrieben (hier). Den Aurender X100 würdigt er so:
„One of the most exciting product releases at CES 2014, for me at least, was the Aurender X100L music server ($3499). It will be reviewed here on April 1, so look for that. The key here is that Aurender has launched a product with every bit of the quality of their pricier S10 ($6990) at about half the price — just less connectivity. What the audiophile community needs is a premium music server at a price that might tempt MacBook Pro owners into forgoing using their laptops as servers. Based on the number of e-mails (“Hey, is that thing any good?”) I’ve gotten from our staff, we might just have a winner.“
