Streamers, servers, players - woefully overpriced??

Impressive for sure. At least SOtM and Metrum will allow you to download and reflash. If SGC even had the OS on the cloud, Jesus R. did not bother to offer it.
All he did is ask where I bought it and what powered supply I was using. When I replied "from them" aid "theirs"  he went silent. Big effin help.
I actually ordered a 7v LPS that hadn't arrived yet. Now I have no use for it.

You want technical support, go to Dominik in Austria or Rob in Holland.
They’ll probably help you get your car started.

How can I improve on a roon nucleus if I do it myself?  Why don’t others sell similar standalone units?  Either DIY or buy a nucleus nothing in between.

Fuzztone your comments of lousy support from Small Green Computers seems typical of some of these clowns 🤡 in the business .
A friend spent a few thousand dollars with SGC had a small issue when he took delivery of the components he contacted them and received a curt response he then immediately sold it to never deal with them again .

@mahler123 .. hahaha!

Yep, most DAC/Streamers never show the <<guts>> and if we follow Kevin Deal's advice,,never buy anything unless you can take a  close inspection of the guts.
A policy I personally follow long before I heard Kevin make mention.
Besides many of these DAC/Streamers are so tiny, and weigh in at ounzes, hardly more than a  few lbs.
Look at Kenin Deals PL DAC/CD player, weighs in at over 28 lbs!!!!!!
.
As i menioned before i never fell for the DAC/Streamer thing.
I'm old school, from LP days, so the cd medium suits me perfect. 
I am about to makea  YT vid showing off the cayin CD17 Mark 1 vs the Shanling 3000, once the upgrades on the Shanling are complete,,maybe 2 weeks. 
parts are in , just waiting for Richard Gray to find the time.

Honestly I'm guessing the upgraded Shanling is going to edge out the Cayin, but both are built like tanks and both highly musical Digital players.
