Flagship music server · Small Green Computer
The ultimate music server for every audiophile.
The sonicTransporter i9 Gen 6 is a fanless, purpose-built music server for listeners who demand absolute performance. Powered by Intel's 14th Gen i9, it handles DSD512 upsampling, massive libraries, and multi-room streaming without compromise — in complete silence.
Why it matters
The flagship of the sonicTransporter line.
The sonicTransporter i9 is not a repurposed PC. It runs sonicOrbiter OS — optimized exclusively for audio — and delivers the processing headroom to handle DSD512 upsampling, multi-zone streaming, and massive libraries without compromise.
Purpose-built for high-end audio.
sonicOrbiter OS eliminates background processes, driver conflicts, and unnecessary overhead. Every CPU cycle goes to your music.
Roon Core ready. No setup required.
Roon Server is pre-installed. Plug in, connect to your network, and your Roon system is live — no keyboard, monitor, or configuration needed.
DSD512 and beyond.
The i9's 14th Gen CPU handles full DSD512 upsampling, PCM conversion, DSP plug-ins, and multi-room streaming simultaneously — without breaking a sweat.
