Trying to use this with Roon and USB connected to Raspberry Pi 4 running ropieeexl unsuccessfully so far. Anyone got this to work?
Nice setup. I like some of the design elements of that Logitech streamer.Finally received the Gustard today!
Hi I have this setup, only difference, I am running ropieee, not ropieeexl.Trying to use this with Roon and USB connected to Raspberry Pi 4 running ropieeexl unsuccessfully so far. Anyone got this to work?
No. I use mine with a MacMini (2012)Does the X16 need a driver for Mac OS X?
I ask this because I have finally bought an Auralic Aries Mini and according to the support page, if it doesn't need the driver, then the X16 is most likely compatible with the Mini.
Thanks.

When I saw it I looked it up. Lots of NOS on ebay in California for about $450. I love the display and knobs, but the handles are a little cheezey.Ah, at last. Happy for you.
That Logitech gear, at 2000$ or €, is probably the most expensive of their line !

Anyway, the Name is Logitech Transporter. It's a LAN player, with plenty of inputs and ouputs in analogic and numeric. So it's possible to use it just like a streamer and use the X16.
AFAIK there will be much noise on your USB, especially when using ethernet.You may have a look at boards for clean transport, like pi2aesTo add a little to the post I made before, this is how I have it set up.
I used this USB port on the Raspberry Pi 4:

In pure subjective evaluation: Yes. X16 is impressive. I thought X16 will be boring unit, just honest and without some romantic addition to the music. In fact, it's not boring at all. Lot of details, lot of (subjective) dynamic and also a really improved 3D stage.I think Transporter had it's own DAC. Is the Gustard a significant step up from the internal DAC of the Transporter?

@gustard some feedback for improvement, please ask your developer to set the display auto-off when no signal is detected, currently it turned off after some time awhile but won't come back on unless some button is triggered.
So it seems correlation between measurements and perceived sound quality reproduction.in pure subjectivity, it does feel revealing somewhat, some micro-details in my favorite tracks is revealed with X16
Did you find anything good enough?I have a few interfaces to test soon....
