In seinem Online-Magazin „High Fidelity“ hat Wojciech Pacula den Aurender X 100L einer ausführlichen Besprechung unterzogen. Seine Angaben zur Geschichte der Aurender-Serie und des Herstellers sind zwar nicht völlig ohne Fehler, aber die technische Darstellung und die klangliche Bewertung verdienen, zur Kenntnis genommen zu werden. Sein Fazit ist:
„The Aurender is a joy to use. My attitude to computer audio is rather negative, because of its unpredictability and the need for continuous fixes and upgrades. If I were to play the audio files in my system, I would like to use a file player that is as stable as a CD player. The Aurender perfectly meets this requirement. It is small, perfectly designed and built and it offers the kind of sound that should appeal to a large group of music lovers, regardless of how much they want to spend on this type of component. I will go even further to say that the sonic structure it offers is close to my vision of the sound of high-end system components. It is soft, yet not softened; dynamic and palpable. On top of this, there is the outstanding user interface. All that remains is to choose a matching high-end DAC. It could be the Meitner that was used during the review, but it could also be the Mytek STEREO192-DSD DAC […] or the Auralic Vega […]. Each of these configurations will be great and each will bring out the main features of the X100 sound. If digital music players continue to follow that path, I will soon have to look around for something like that. The X100L is outstanding. […]
The X100L is designed to be remotely controlled from an iPad, using the excellent Aurender App. This is one of the best user interfaces I have come across. No computer software player, even the coolest, comes close to it.“
