I have been waiting for mine for a couple months. They should be shipping over the next couple weeks, hopefully I will have mine in a week or two. I need a network streamer and wanted I2S to go to my DAC. I could have got a P12AES but decided to wait for this. I can mount a SSD internally and have been reading up on that. My question is why would that be better than playing off my laptop drive? Just generally. I use Roon to stream. My laptop has latency issues using USB I have not resolved. Roon has no issues with files on my laptop thru roon going to a borrowed Bluesound node.... So network. Just curious how a SSD on the Mercury is going to benefit me.
Other than that, I can't wait. It is the last piece of my puzzle, and I will be reporting on how it is working. If there are any beta testers here, PLEASE SHARE!!! That would be great. Anyway, more to follow.
