I gots the ST i5. It's a solid no doubt. I think its a great way to go for running The Roons and always recommend it as a solution. I have a Bryston BDP pi as an endpoint and the combo sounds and works good.I am always amazed how good Radio Paradise sounds streaming 16/48. But, If Manic Moose was not so flaky I might just run the BDP alone. I might mis The Roons but I do think the MPD in MM sounds a bit more open and full when doing critical listening. Bryston is supposedly bringing MM interface up to snuff, I am interested to see which way I goes.
