About the sonicTransporter i5 (Gen 3)

The Small Green Computer sonicTransporter i5 (Gen 3) is a purpose-built music server featuring an Intel i5 processor and a high-speed SSD for lightning-fast access to music. The chassis is milled from a solid block of billet aluminum, which acts as a heat sink, allowing the unit to be fan-less and noiseless. It runs the proprietary sonicOrbiter OS and comes with Roon Server pre-installed, supporting up to 16 simultaneous multi-room streaming zones. The device supports multiple network protocols including Roon (RAAT), DLNA, Samba (Sonos and others), Squeezebox, and Plex Server. It has a web-based user interface accessible from tablets or browsers, requiring no keyboard or monitor. Storage options include an internal SSD for the server database and a tool-less 2.5" hard drive bay for additional music storage, compatible with USB drives and NAS devices. The unit consumes approximately 9 watts of power and includes a 12V 5A power supply and LAN cable. Optional upgrades include larger SSDs and a linear power supply. The sonicTransporter i5 is highly regarded for its ease of use, stability, and performance in audiophile digital music streaming setups.
