MQA is up to trying to rip off dCS and, presumably, Roon as well. Apparently MQA want dCS to pay them a license fee for every unit sold, even if the user doesn't use MQA. dCS were happy to pay for MQA/Tidal users only, absorbing the cost, so presumably they didn't expect to have to pay much. Fisticuffs at dawn outside the Cambridge Arms.

Currently, the external hard drive is formatted for macOS with ALAC music files & wonder if Sonic Transporter i5 will seamlessly accept it ?

Also - can Mutec REF10 be used with dCS Network Bridge at a latter date ?

Hello Audio_eng,  Best wishes from Canada,
can only report on a ROON/Audirvana based system but these both immediately recognized the Bridge.  So assume the Sonic Transporter, if running ROON, will do the same.
Hear a clock is an upgrade but no personal experience in this.  The bridge is freely available to a home network...for example, never, ever, thought too much about Airplay in regards to my music system but it is easy and quite delightful to play a Saturday Morning podcast thru this system...not, in this case looking for sonic merit but just fun and warmth listening in the larger living room with a great cup of freshly ground, 192 degree, Aeropress Coffee....
