Notes

• I've been using it as a Roon Server + Squeeze Player + Internal OCXO Re-clocked SPDIF output
• Tested I2S on Denafrips DACs and it sounds fantastic, better than Gaia
• Updated to latest 3.12 firmware which bought about further improvement to the Squeeze sound quality.
• Fully broken in power supply (it took 6 months for full break in)
• Antipodes has the best customer support I've ever experienced
• Original owner, 8 months old
• Reason for sale: Upgrading
