What is happening!? Did all the hardware vendors go belly up in an obscure global depression or is the R&D world focusing on 3D television and scantily clad ladies to help sell the buggers? For several months nothing has happened in the land of the audio streamer. Yes! I want a NaimUnity. Yes! I think Sonos is cool. No, I don’t exactly have an ass full of dough to spend. But I do crave my weekly dose of hardware and these past 6 months have been a cold turkey. So, dear vendors: Please do get your guys out of those 3D labs and focus on some real value. We want nice sound… Okay?!

Please note that the ratings are not objective in any way nor are they a measure for quality. They are a measure for what I think the target group for the device was intended to be; my expectations if you will.
