So I pulled the trigger on the SonicTransporter HQPlayer model and Andrew has confirmed it's on it's way to me This hobby being what it is, I'm already scoping out a better LPS for it. Andrew sells one but as I'm importing to the UK both the additional courier & import charges put me off and I've opted for getting one locally. The SonicTransporter needs a 19v, 5amp PSU so the Uptone LPS-1 is alas out. Unless I daisy chain 3 of them! (joke*) From my reading I think the best options are: Paul Hynes SR7 (seems to be the best but made to order and will take a couple months or thereabouts) Sbooster HDPlex 200W I'm leaning towards the SR7 but the thought of having to wait so long has me wondering if the Sbooster is perhaps the way to go. Any other PSU's that I should be considering? Also with isolation downstream (optical, ISO Regen or both - I have both currently but might take the FMC's out) is the SR7 overkill? Or is it still worth the investment in terms of money and patience? Many Thanks, Alan

I often get asked how to setup our sonicTransporter with Roon Server and a microRendu or ultraRendu as a Roon Ready player. I made a quick youtube video on how to get this done. https://goo.gl/BHN1Jb

I'm finally getting around to selling my previous server. Details below. Full disclosure: This unit stopped working (I couldn't get to to power back up after reinstalling Roon) and was repaired under warranty by the manufacturer - Martin Smith of Vortexbox UK. It's now working perfectly but just want to be upfront about the history and I have of course factored this into the bargain price. Willing to ship only within Europe. Apologies to those outwith Europe. Model - Audiostore Prestige 2 https://www.vortexbox.co.uk/Audiostore_Prestige_2 Specifications: Martin installed my Samsung 850 Evo TB from a previous server I owned. XL performance with 8 GB RAM (for DSP in Roon) OS: SonicOrbiter system with Roon & LMS players 19v DC input PreBridged Ethernet ports (1 in from LAN and 1 out to End-Point or DAC) to allow you to skip the potentially noise introducing switch in sending music to the DAC (as per the Novel Way thread on this forum) A great low noise server for sending music either directly to a DAC to to an end-point like the SMS-200Ultra or UltraRendu etc. Server cost £1,128 and the Samsung SSD originally cost £258. I therefore think that £700 is VERY, VERY fair given the history and age. (I bought it in July 2017). There is no box and no cables other than the stock power cable. I do also have an Sbooster 19V power supply that I used to power it. Willing to include it for an additional £150 if the buyer wants a better LPS for it. https://www.vortexbox.co.uk/Sbooster_Linear_Power_Supply_-_BOTW_P_P_ECOLinear_Power_Supply Shipping included but I'm only willing to ship in Europe. Apologies to those outside of Europe. Photos to follow. Thanks for reading. Cheers, Alan
