Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek
OP asked about AS vs Supratek, I mentioned issues with messy wiring and possible issues with reliability. Is questioning messy wiring and possible issues with reliability not allowed? I have no knowledge of either reliability or sound quality and ...

@lalitk I see, you've learned all there is needed to be learned. And yes, I will carry on.  
Best server to use WITHOUT Roon
@mdrone You do know you're Sonictransporter not limited to Roon only. You can use JRiver, Audirvana or any number of players with it. Also, you could try Euphony Stylus Endpoint and/or core which is superimposed upon Roon, supposedly superior soun... 
Best server to use WITHOUT Roon
@ghdprentice Every streamer or server is a computer. As I understand it, Aurrender holds to minimal processor model as being best, interesting. I can understand the logic of this, but means one cannot use any dsp. Not making judgmental here, just ... 
Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek
I'd like to throw out my above comments as to assembly tidiness and best build pracitces to audio equipment manufacturers out there. I understand you may not want to come out and criticize Supratek, but tell us why you observe and conform to well ...

Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek
@jetter  Exactly!  Originally, I heard about this issue with Supratek from good ole Georgehifi (now banned), I just thought some of his criticism justified here, unlike many of his contentions.   I presume showing people side by side internal ph... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I can see possible scenario where I2S could outperform usb with 005 in system. Lets say you have inferior usb out of server, and take top flight I2S reclocker/DDC like Denafrips, I2S may be superior. One has to understand usb outs of many servers ...

@antigrunge2 Exactly, my experience as well. Still, my search is on for the most efficient means to extract maximum sound quality. My present thoughts along this line is server with optical out capability into streamer or streaming dac with optica...
