From the 6 Moons Review of the Modwright Transporter and the Music Vault.
" Apparently, Neal's software/hardware combo to rip to his Vault's hard-drive, then streaming that data wirelessly to the
Transporter was as good as the world's best dedicated transport. This won't make me popular with Esoteric or anyone
else still committed to designing and fabricating such devices (very few are left). Yet I cannot deny my ears' evidence.
Nor am I suggesting that such results are inherent in the computer audio equation. Just running any loaded-for-bear
PC for audio purposes will likely not give equivalent results."
Also from the review in 6 moons:
"Has that time finally arrived so us old-timers must get off our resistant arses, down with the hipsters and on with da
future? Therein lies the tale. Lest you think that a music server requires a home network, think again. Neal Van Berg's
MusicVault with 500GB or 1TB of storage is a stand-alone server with CD/DVD drive that will auto rip your CDs to hard
drive as FLAC files and arrives preloaded with the latest version of Slimserver. It communicates with your Transporter
wirelessly or via hardwired Ethernet link without setup hassles. And the Music Vault isn't a space hog. It of course also
works with the Squeezebox or Roku Sound Bridge. Hip hip hurray? " and the new Duet!!!!!
More from the 6 Moons review:
While my Vault loaner admittedly is not entirely your usual computer -- everything non-essential to ripping and storing
music files has been stripped and ripped out, including loading its operating system to USB stick -- it does use an
apparently quite ordinary 52-times hi-speed CD/ROM drive. By comparison, the top-line TEAC VRDS-NEO in my NWO
clocks in at $6,000 on the OEM price sheet - with minimum order quantities of 50. It's the arguably most drastic
juxtaposition one could make. Bottom line, the NWO 3.0-GO clocks in at $30,000, the ModWrighted Transporter + 1TB
Music Vault at about $5,000, combined. (MacBooks with 1/5th the storage capacity start out at $1,100 to compare in
price to the Vault). Then consider the small print. The NWO can only play whatever disc is loaded (though it's
compatible with DVD/A + V and SACD). The Transporter/Vault combo can play up to approximately 2,200 CDs stored
as FLAC files without ever getting up (actual figure depends on lengths of individual CDs of course).
