PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PURCHASING

A Pachanko Labs Constellation Mini with pre installed Roon Core and also Diretta.

This is the latest specification Constellation Mini although it has the previous chassis, not the new hedgehog one, all other specs are the same.

It has dual LAN, one set for input and the other configured for audio output. This is an option that suits Diretta users so that you can connect a Diretta ‘target’ directly without routing via a switch.

For information on Diretta check the web

If you do not use Diretta then it operates fine as a Roon Core either connected over a network or via USB.

Pachanko Labs may be new to U.K. but have received great reviews worldwide.

I have owned this model from new (March 2022) however it has not been used for 6 months so firmware updates will be required.

All updates are managed by Chan at Pachanko Labs remotely using the Anydesk software. As the new owner you will need to contact Chan for the remote update service to transfer to you. Alternatively you can do your own updates but bear in mind that this is not a full Windows OS and some areas are restricted by Chan to boost performance and also protect their particular solution.

I strongly advise that you contact Chan, via his website, before purchasing to ask if he is happy to continue with remote updates for you as the new owner - before purchasing

You will also need to contact Chan if you want to install different software as the specific Windows to allow this are turned off.

I cannot accept returns if this doesn’t work out for you.

The unit comes with no additional storage for music files but you can add a HD or SSD with a Sata connection or USB.

I also have the Stella Linear 12V power supply and the Stellar Serenity Sata cable that I may decide to sell at a later date if you are interested in the complete package.

The warranty has one month left but I doubt that it is transferable, although you could ask Chan.

I am selling due to an alternative Diretta solution

Will ship in its original packaging via a courier of your choice. Cost listed is without additional insurance.

Overseas customers please note that I only use the eBay global shipping program and the cost is determined by eBay, not me, so please do not ask for a reduction or alternative shipping service.
