I used to have a microRendu as UPNP/DLNA endpoint before jumping on the NUC bandwagon first with Audiolinux, then Euphony. The microRendu was easy to live with, pretty much glitch free and very clean for SQ... but as time passed newer solutions offered better dynamics and transient response. Euphony has since evolved to add UPNP support with Stylus server and I'm liking UPNP again feeding an Atom PC w/Uptone Audio JS2 power supply, running Euphony endpoint UPNP. Its a little buggy but worth it for SQ improvement. The question I have is this; what (1) purpose built devices are out there that would have (2) good software as a UPNP endpoint and offer (3) better hardware solution than what I currently use. Have been pondering whether an Innuos pulse mini could be used as a UPNP endpoint but haven't gotten any affirmation from Innuos that one can do so.

View Classified Allo DigiOne Signature with RPi 4 and accessories I'm selling this only because I changed systems, as part of the constant curiosity about what else is 'out there'. I purchased everything brand new back in August of 2020, and only used it a handful of times over the span of less than a year. This means that everything is basically 'new', and the batteries have only been cycled around 10 times. Also of note, I built this very carefully, even using white gloves to avoid getting fingerprints on the PCBs or inside of the case. I have decades of experience working with computers and electronics as well. The Raspberry PI4 is the 2gb version. The included A123 18650 LiFePo4 batteries are regarded as the most reliable and best quality. These are also reported by many, including Allo, to give the best sound when powering the Digione Signature. As can be seen in the pictures, I wired the battery holder with an inline toggle switch, which makes it much easier to turn the system on and off. Without this, one would have to just unplug the USB-C cable every time, which I thought was a bit crude. Also included is a 5ft BlueJeans BNC cable. The other cable pictured is a microUSB with bare ends for powering the RPI4 with something that has screw terminals. I used an Astron linear power supply with the exact voltage needed, for example (but this isn't included in the sale). Additionally I'm including the Samsung 32gb Pro Endurance MicroSD card, which I've freshly formatted, ready for any operating system of choice. The only thing needed from the new user is a power supply for the RPI4 (even the stock wall-wart would do fine), and a charger for the batteries (make sure it supports LiFePo4). This is a beautiful sounding endpoint, and I cannot say that anything I've heard has been objectively 'better'. I can ship to US and Canada, and local pickup is available in the Syracuse or Montreal area. Thanks for looking, and feel free to ask any further questions.

View Classified SOtM sMS-200ultra & sPS-500 + 7N UPOCC Silver cable I've decided to sell my music server as I've actually 'downgraded' to a pi2aes which has AES outputs that I'm enjoying with my Yggy. Included is an sMS-200ultra that has the optional feature of running on 12v. Also included is the sPS-500 power supply, as well as an upgraded 30cm 7N UPOCC Silver DC cable. Additionally, I'm including my Sandisk Extreme Plus 64gb microSD card. Just this morning I freshly formatted it with the newest version of Eunhasu (the operating system), and verified that there were no more updates available within the Eunhasu update section. This means it's as close to turn-key, plug-and-play as can be for the next user. About the condition -- I'm an extremely careful owner. These have always been run in a cool room, and both units were only powered on when I was actually listening to music. They were always plugged into a high performance power conditioner, which was always unplugged during storms or threatening weather. Additionally, when not in use, these were covered with a cotton cloth to keep dust out, and were also never allowed to be exposed to direct sunlight for any part of the day. So yes, I am OCD with my gear, and I thus do believe these are deserving of the 10/10 condition I rated them. I used them for a few years, but only occasionally within that period were they actually 'used', in that they were turned on. I'm not home half the time, and even when I am, I'm not always listening to music on my "big" system. I purchased them directly from a reputable dealer within the US. Shipping is free anywhere in Canada or US if purchased at my asking price. All original boxes and padding are included, and is what will be used for shipping. The padding is very good, surrounded by custom cut foam, so they should easily survive the rigors of transport. The two custom SOtM boxes will be packed together in a larger box with additional padding (bubble wrap, foam, etc.). I also have all the original literature that came with both units, and will also include a stock IEC power cable. Local pickup also available within both the Syracuse and Montreal area. Expect each unit to be in the same shape as when purchased new. Let me know if any further questions arise. Seller tea_hous Date 05/19/22 Price 1,300.00 USD Category Music Servers / Streamers

I have decided to not head down this road! I was going to do an enhanced custom version of this with OS installed and provide setup. The numbers are not there for my business to proceed. Here is what I think is a better way for everyone. I am looking at a way to source a semi-custom fan-less NUC endpoint or server running the NUC7i7DNxx board (Dawson Canon). I am proposing a product that would use this board with a case and an SMPS. There would be a couple of configuration options that include memory, Optane SSD, possibly WIFI. The hardware would have a 1 year warranty that could be extended for a fee. The system would include a license an support for AudioLinux. The current thinking is to provide time limited online and phone support to get the product going on the end user's system as a part of the cost. I am trying to gauge interest. There are several ways that this could go. I am open to suggestions. Think of this as a Raspberry Pi in theory. One step above buying parts at Newegg. No Soldering required. You will still need a display, mouse, keyboard for setup. It might not work with your DAC or your whatever. The final cost is not determined. Bob NOTE I am a managed service provider and this is a possible extension of my business.

I read about this device recently, and it is described as an endpoint. Roon newbie questions; what is the difference between a Roon Server and a Roon Endpoint? if I store my music on a NAS, do I still need Roon Server hardware, or is Roon Server software that I can install on my Netgear Ready Cloud NAS?

I currently use a CAPS v3 (Intel Atom processor, etc) as a Roon end point in my listening room. It uses Audiophile Optimizer in its core mode on Windows Server 2012 r2. After considerable tinkering with the registry, I got the ASIO driver that supports the exaSound e12 DAC to start automatically at boot. The machine also has an JCAT Femto USB card. The USB card and SSD are fed by a 5vDC linear power supply, which also supplies 12vDC to the Atom motherboard. In addition I'm using one of Paul Pang's SATA cables to connect the SSD to the motherboard. This setup sounds pretty nice, but I'm tempted by the idea of trying Roon ROCK on a NUC, on the theory that Roon's customized Linux OS would be even cleaner and thus sound better than stripped-down WS 2012r2 with AO in core mode. Some questions are: (1) Has anybody already made such a switch (or something similar) and have any thoughts on the SQ improvement, if any? (2) Is there a fanless NUC that will run Roon ROCK? (3) Does such a NUC support an add-on USB card?
