Interesting. Would like to hear from somebody who has used one. Too bad they didn’t build in a full version or JRMC and let the USB3 port be used for a hard drive. Support for Logitech Media Server would also be nice as then it would be more of a substitute for the discontinued Squeezebox Touch (they’d obviously prefer that people buy JRMC to use on the server).

Is this similar functionally to the Auralic Aries except no wireless ?

I haven’t compared them feature by feature but they generally seem to serve the same primary purpose (i.e., to allow a USB DAC to connect to a sever by ethernet).

Lot cheaper but wonder how SQ would compare, not sure it's their top priority.
