scolley Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 There is no such thing as a free lunch. How do you then isolate the unit from the WiFi receiver which is electrically connected to it;) No disagreement Jesus, so won't even go down that road. Just pointing out that not everyone agrees with our point of view, and value having a wifi connection. Thanks.

misterspense Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 For those that don't have a wired connection for ethernet, but do have a coax running to their listening room, and don't want to use a power adapter, check out moca. You can send ethernet over coax, faster and more reliable than over the powerline, and it's ment for high frequency content so it doesn't interfere with other things. I'm using my sms100 with moca a adapter and am happy with it. Link to comment

vortecjr Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Can the Orbiter be connected to a Mac by Ethernet without using a router? R I suppose if you are an advanced user you can do this. However, this has not been tested and the unit is designed to work with the internet. It's best to connect the unit to a router.

vortecjr Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Some updates: 1. We are starting to ship units today to US based customers. 2. We have finished the RoonReady validation process and all units will ship with the application pre-installed. This is an image of the Sonicorbiter SE being used as a playback device from the latest ALPHA build of Roon. You can see the full effect of a RoonReady device.

tboooe Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Please excuse my question but I am bit confused about this product. As I understand it this is a renderer much like Jplaystreamer is. So if I was to use this I would connect this to my network. Using a control point like BubbleUpnP, I would see this a renderer.

I take it you have not seen a Cubox-i computer which is what is being used for this product. It is a 2 inch cube so standard cards cannot be used. Eric Audio System Link to comment

I can continue to use Minimserver or some other DLNA/UPnP server like JRiver Media Center?? My understanding is that JPLAYStreamer is an OpenHome control point and not a renderer. If so, you can put the Sonicorbiter SE in MPD/DLNA mode and then enable the unit's BubbleUPNP Server APP that allows the unit to become an OpenHome Renderer. Now JPLAYStreamer can send streams to the unit for playback. You will need MinimServer or some other UPNP/DLNA server with this combination.

I have not been able to locate an affordable 220-240 VAC linear power to supply to offer with the unit. As such, I just added an option for a standard 220-240 VAC power supply. However, you may still need an adapter for the plug depending on your location.
