Interested in listening to Antipodes.

rshad0000,
I thought I sold my DS GT, but I didn't. In the mean-time I've changed to Audioquest power cords. I don't know when I'll get the DX gen 3.

@mitch2 The DX 3 will not have the CX's High Power V4H Circuit For Server Apps, enables demanding Roon DSP functions (according to the Antipodes website). Having said that I highly recommend the DX 3; and your plan sounds intriguing. 

Just to clarify the point re 'demanding Roon DSP functions', those referred to are upsampling to DSD256/512. The DX3 can accommodate most Roon DSP functions comfortably, including upsampling to DSD128.

My plan does not include DSP so I should be good with the DX and cannot really justify selling it to buy a CX.  I believe I will continue to enjoy the DX's ability to directly rip CDs.  If I were starting over, I would look hard at one of the sonic Transporter i7 models (either Roon with HQ or Roon with DSP), as well as the CX, to use with the SOtM triad.

I was within a couple of days of purchasing the SOtM triad but then saw information on Metrum's new Ambre, which is supposed to be Roon certified soon.  The Ambre is quite a bit lower in price than the triad, it uses femto clocks, and it does not require a USB enhancer/reclocker (i.e., the SOtM tx-USBultra) to use with my Pavane L3 DAC, since the Ambre directly outputs I2S and Metrum offers a user-installable I2S board for my Pavane L3.  The Ambre is a single-box solution, which I hope would be built to the same high standards as Metrum's other gear.  The dilemma is that everything I read about the SOtM triad describes exactly the type of sound I am trying to achieve.  I wish the Ambre were a bit further along and that there was a review to provide more information.

Latest info from Antipodes:

 

"Antipodes is sharing one of the new Superior DemoCabins at Munich 2018, Hall 4, W12 with Aequo Audio loudspeaker manufacturers. We will focus on the new X-Series Modular Solution range - the CX, EX, P1 & P2. We are taking this opportunity to officially launch the CX Music Server and to pre-announce the P2 platform.

The P2 is being pre-announced very early, so that customers can understand how the new Modular Solutions fit together. The P2 modules will not be available until late in 2018.

 

Please open the PDF brochure below for an explanation of the Modular solutions, and visit our home page for more information on these developments."
