Interested in listening to Antipodes.

What’s great about the EX is it has a built in DAC that’s good for PCM and up to 24bit, 192 Khz with analog outputs. A better DAC can be added later, if you wish.

For luddites, like me, it may be the way to go in the future. It can hold all of my CDs and I can add more later. Hmmmm.......

All the best,

My DX is scheduled for the DX2 to DX3 upgrade very soon.  My understanding is that I will be able to use the DX3 as a Roon server on my network that will be similar to a CX-EX combination, and I will be able to output Ethernet into a Roon endpoint, or renderer.  Instead of using Antipodes own EX as the endpoint, I am considering either the SOtM traid or Metrum's new Ambre endpoint.  The interesting thing about the Ambre is that it outputs I2S and Metrum offers a user-installable I2S input board for my Metrum Pavane Level 3 that gets installed in place of the USB board.  That will allow me to go with Ethernet from the server into the Ambre then I2S from the Amber to the Pavane L3.  If I decide to use the SOtM triad, the output will go through the highly regarded tX-USBUltra then via USB to the Pavane L3.   Taking the USB connection out of the chain with I2S from the Ambre to my DAC may be the deciding factor in my decision of whether to purchase the SOtM gear or the Ambre as my Roon endpoint. Either way, the thought of "significant" improvements to the already great sounding DX2 is really interesting to me.

rshad0000,
I thought I sold my DS GT, but I didn't. In the mean-time I've changed to Audioquest power cords. I don't know when I'll get the DX gen 3.

@mitch2 The DX 3 will not have the CX's High Power V4H Circuit For Server Apps, enables demanding Roon DSP functions (according to the Antipodes website). Having said that I highly recommend the DX 3; and your plan sounds intriguing. 

Just to clarify the point re 'demanding Roon DSP functions', those referred to are upsampling to DSD256/512. The DX3 can accommodate most Roon DSP functions comfortably, including upsampling to DSD128.
