Did you not consider a new sonicTransport also?

The new bigger ones has dual ethernet ports for bridge mode, if I will stay with AIR the sonicTransport with Roon and HQ Player looks like a nice combo but a bit pricy compared to building it your self.
The switch will feed my totaldac d1 server, replacing my existing Paul Pang.
Still haven't made up my mind re the sT. I'm not massively enamoured by the DSP of Roon, specifically the upsampling functionality and believe HQPlayer is probably the way to go.
Anyway the switch was an easier decision to make! Sorry to Antoine for hijacking his system thread!

Well first of sorry from me to for this very off-topic discusion.
I am also looking in to this network upgrade but as long as the streamerbord is not out I will wait and see what path to choose....
Seems to be some that has a bit of problems with the sT and the cost of the Roon HQ machine is rather high compared to build it your self with off the shelf stuff, the sT with HQ player runs Windows 10 so no advantage of it being Linux.
I see some thinking that the USB on the Pro models is better now than before, I have not tried USB on my 440 so perhaps going with the up-coming Sotm SMS-200 Ultra in NAA mode with HQ Player feed by Roon is a way to go.
