It took 3 days (with the on again off again behavior or Control:Mac), but all is well. The export appears to be complete, but is there any way to be absolutely sure?

At this point I am waiting for the Peachtree USB to SPDIF converter to come in. Once that comes in I'll download Roon, connect up all the kit and take it all for a test drive.

To be honest I don't see my giving up on my Sooloos any time soon. There is a LOT of cash invested and I still get loads of happiness from it.

One wonders what Meridian will do with the Sooloos hardware and what software will power it. Maybe a Roon analogue?

Russ thanks for always being so helpful.
