SGC Vortexbox Audiophile

Looking to go in this direction.

Any feedback form users or is there something as simple and better sounding?

Of course there are better alternatives but way more expensive, such as the RipNAS Solid V3 or the Monster.

It works very well. Easy to control with IPAD or IPhone. I back it up to a portable hard drive. All very easy to set up etc. The Audiophile Vortexbox looks intriguing as you can obtain 4TB of storage and numerous connections and it looks like a bargain. One of the things I would want to know about is the power supply.
