Nice to hear that, please write some thougts about it when you get it. I have plans to get one to.
Are you going to use that with your Total DAC?
Are you going to get a ROON license to?
Yes I will use it with the totaldac which is RoonReady. I already tested this using my MacBook AIR and it sounded great although too many dropouts. I was running my Mac over wifi.
The SonicTransporter will be wired into my router using a totaldac Ethernet cable (the one with the ferrite collar) which I already have. I will get an iFi iPower 12v power supply to feed this and will repurpose my Entreq ground cable which is currently connected to my NAS. I might need to swap this for a USB version though since I'm not sure how many RJ45 ports it has, if more than one I will be fine.
The SonicTransport will be plugged into a different mains system anyway but I like to go OTT with these things.
