joessportster Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Bought this as I was considering making the move to Roon, Instead I put Linux on my PC getting rid of windows and I am happy with the results. So I am not switching over. Here is the info from the seller where I bought it. "Sonictransporter I5 music server from Small Green Computer offered by original owner. Mine doesn't have an internal drive for music, so you would need to use an external hard-drive. I bought this a few years ago (maybe 2016?) and used it happily for 2 years until it died. It was sent off the SGC, who replaced a board, and returned it to me a few months later. However, being a impatient Type-A, I splurge on a more expensive server before getting this unit back. It's been sitting in the pictured box since then. I verified that it powers on, is recognized by the local network, and plays tunes, so it appears good to go. No cosmetic issues, and as mentioned, it was gone over thoroughly by the folks at SGC. Seller pays USPS shipping within" I powered it up and it seems to work as described except of course I do not have ROON..........Will sell it for 200.00 plus the fees and shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joessportster Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 I wish I had known that Roon basically requires Internet access to operate steadily Other players like J-River you simply download it and you can then stay offline, I am checking around to see if I can possibly load Linux on the i5 transporter. If they say it is possible I will likely pull the ad and set it up that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fross Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Do you still have this unit available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
