Well sir it is all about taste and both are some of the best you can get on the market right now if you ask me. I can’t say one is better than the other I like both much. Antipodes have a better flow to the music and PF is a bit more detailed. Give me a few days more whit PF again and will give you a better update ---

Hi @Henrik_Berg , May I ask whether you are using Roon server and Roon player or Roon server with Squeezebox player on the Antipodes? Or have you evaluated the differences between the 2 combinations of server/player softwares? Thanks ---
