@ogs @David A - Yes, I certainly plan to try RAAT via the CI board, including 24/192 files and upsampling etc. In fact, I'll pretty much try anything! I am also mindful of @Vivialet 's posts re the good results he was getting using Audirvana UPnP / DLNA, this is something else I would like to try. Although I think Vivialet's best results were via direct Ethernet connection, so using the EtherRegen would be something a little different, plus I believe UPnP / DLNA buffers tracks, so I am not quite sure how this fits with the theories behind the EtherRegen. No harm in trying it though.
@Antoine - Your comment about getting it before Christmas made me chuckle. Yes, I would very much like to get it before Christmas, simply because I will have more time at home for listening over the holiday period. The thing is though, this time last year I was very much looking forward to trying my "end of November" batch Paul Hynes SR4's over the Christmas holidays. They arrived in late March! That said, I am optimistic that the Uptone promised delivery dates might prove to be a little nearer to the mark than those from Paul Hynes.
