Right, thank Abe for the clarification. Also thank you for the pictures of the guts of the machine!IMO, the SolidRun SoM is nothing special and costs something like $65 at most (surely less than that in bulk with just 512M RAM). As for the carrier, good engineering perhaps but I have doubts that this leads to audible difference from say a reference implementation of USB, low power infrastructure, communications bus made with good quality parts. I assume this was probably an custom design with both Swenson & SolidRun's input to interface with their processor board?
I maintain that the best part of this whole system is the software... And wouldn't mind buying that separately.
