Top left is a screw in antenna socket
The two USB inputs are on the left hand side (I connect a 4Tb SSD here)
Adjacent is an HDMI out that you connect to a monitor, but only for Command Line functions
Then there is the SD card.  This contains the Operating System, in my case Volumio
The LAN port (but you can connect wirelessly as well)
Optical and co-ax SPDIF
AES unbalanced (BNC connector)
AES balanced (what I am using)
12VDC socket
I2S output

Apart from USB in, you can also stream via Tidal, etc
It handles Air Music
All the outputs are switched on all the time
The I2S output can be programmed to use 22 different DACs

It outputs DSD natively.  There is an upscaler, 24 bit 96KHz

Being a headless device, you can manage Volumio via a web browser or use the Volumio app on an iPad.  You can either use your home network or the wi-fi signal that the Mercury generates

Please keep in mind that it's not optimized for  USB output. Its I2S HDMI, AES/EBU, SPDIF outputs are really great. I also use its AES balanced digital output which is connected to Devialet 220 Pro's AES input. It can send  24bit-192khz tracks and DSD64 via AES output in a bit-perfect way to Devialet.

In addition to this, in my point of view, GENTOPLAYER is the best software which can run totally on RAM that works on top of it which I have decided after trying most of the softwares including VolumIO, Moode, Roopie, RoopieXL, DietPi, PiCorePlayer. Mercury is  performing much more than its price which deserves respect.
