Auraliti's main man is Demian Martin, a well-regarded audio designer who co-founded Spectral Audio, and now designs and consults technically for Constellation Audio, Rockport, Nuforce and Monster Cables. Some web forums swears by the PK100 and thinks it beats the Mac Mini as a specialized computer-based music server. I have yet to try it but the L1000 looks very tempting.
