@mofojo My i7 sT has been solid over the 3 years of usage. Andrew has been terrific all along, now going on six years from my first i5 > i7 AP > current i7. Let me know if you have specific questions.
I've had an i5 for four or five years, paired with ultrarendu, running Roon, iPad at the "head." I like the sounds. Inevitably, some hiccups with the software, although Roon, which I really enjoy, seems to have gotten considerably more stable over iterations. Andrew's support is exemplary; he's made it work for me even though I am computer challenged. I'd say it's a very good way to go, esp. at the pricepoint.
I gots the ST i5. It's a solid no doubt. I think its a great way to go for running The Roons and always recommend it as a solution. I have a Bryston BDP pi as an endpoint and the combo sounds and works good.I am always amazed how good Radio Paradise sounds streaming 16/48. But, If Manic Moose was not so flaky I might just run the BDP alone. I might mis The Roons but I do think the MPD in MM sounds a bit more open and full when doing critical listening. Bryston is supposedly bringing MM interface up to snuff, I am interested to see which way I goes.
I've had mine for 5 months now. Great purchase. Much more stable and better sound quality than using my iMac as a roon core. I also use it with a uRendu
