Stereohile review conclusion:
“The Antipodes K50 music server distinguished itself as the finest-sounding music server ever to grace my system. Image size and weight, color saturation, bass control, and transparency were the best my system has ever delivered. Listening was the most enjoyable and rewarding I've ever experienced at home. That is cause for celebration. As I don my party hat, the sonic rewards they deliver are profound. Our measurements can't reveal why one server sounds better than another; you'll have to take my word for it or listen for yourself”…..… Jason Victor Serinus.
