I'm at the Munich High end show this week hanging out with the guys from Ayre. They are running the QX-5 demo in their booth using our new server.
Our new server has a quad core i7, CD ripping and dual Ethernet, plus 5TB of internal storage.
In the picture your can see we have the sonicTransporter attache to the Roon Ready QX-5 using a Cardas Ethernet cable. This configuration works and sounds great!
To show case different a network player option we are running the Ayre Codex using a microRendu in DLNA mode.
