I've had no problems with LMS. No need to update ever in 3 years. Coax sounds much better than Toslink on my M50. All results are specific to the entire system. I've only had to use UPnP on free Volumio.

The miniDSP comes with a custom version of Volumio that allows free Qobuz and Tidal like the Pro-Ject S2 Ultra does. Please Spotify and HiRes.

It just doesn't look like a streamer. A poster on another forum claims that it is. With no credibility. But I see NO mention of any music services in SD-9 product literature. Maybe you CAN do it but I would not even try. And I have set up 6 different ones with no big problems. The lit states...

I have no clue where you're at but they will ship the Mano Ultra to the USA for ~$850. That's the cheapest i2s out that I know of. Rob & Jos are a dream to work with. They ship fast via DHL I do not know why you mention the SD-9. It is NOT a streamer. It is the worst of both worlds. A player...

For USB out a Ras Pi, Pro-Ject S2 Ultra or an Allo USBridge. For i2s a Magna Mano Ultra with built in LPS and choice of SPDIF.

I have an Allo USBridge. It's just a Ras Pi in a custom case. Equivalent to my Raspberry Pi 3 in SQThe M50 might support 4TB SSDs but it will not pass enough power for any more than a 512 GB. But the card slot supports at least a 512 GB. It just loads slower than a SSD. What makes you think that...

No. I got in late but not this late. The last one came from Best buy for $38. The M50 keeps playing when you leave with your phone, the way I like it.

Apple never signed on to the Digital Alliance. That's all I meant. Enjoy.

What a question! Too hard to disconnect your modem and try it first?

Except for the fact that defeats its purpose. Why control it via network when you get that PLUS streaming with a $50 Raspberry Pi? Besides I abandoned DNLA years ago. Too much bother. SSDs via USB-A sound better to me. You are welcome to do things the hard way. Oh, that's right, you can't.

Try it. Just unplug your modem. The only streamers that might work will have on-board controls. None of my six do. All control apps require networking which requires internet. Surprise.

Fixed what?

There is only one, count 'em, reason for buying the M50. To play local files without networking. All else is foolishness.

You bought it for the wrong reason. Feel smarter now?

Not the big elephant in the room, it requires a network. If your ISP goes down all hope is lost.

Don't buy cheapskate. I streamed whole house from a PC for ten years and now it SUCKS.

But they might. Oh the humanity. All you can do is try both ways. If you hear no diff., fine. I did and do and you cannot change that.

AllTerrainVehicle? The M50 is a non network player. The S.M.S.L SD-9 is a network player. Apple and orange. The SD-9 only looks like a streamer without streaming. Stupid. Yesterday the M50 played immediately. Ahh, music!! A streamer plugged into the same DAC took over an hour, I tried...

You are entitled to your opinion and your own level of musical enjoyment. For some there are impediments to hearing any differences do to prejudice.

All you have to do is listen to each system to tell the difference. Or keep playing logic games. Your choice.
