It's mostly a matter of time. For $500 I can get a product that'll plug in and connect to Tidal or Qobuz and deliver either an analog or digital output.I can select the audio system (the networked RPi) and play the music library on my PC from foobar. Unfortunately I am unable to select the audio system from my PC or cell phone and play music selected from the Qobuz app. If I could do this I wouldn't need or want a music server in the audio system. I don't need foobar (it's my PC player though) and it's kind of kludgy (when used as an app to select the RPi) as I can just run the Moode browser app from the PC or my iPhone to play it from the RPi connected to my DAC.
Roon seems like more of a commitment I want to make but if I ever do it's compatible with the music servers I am considering. As to moving off Moode I've just concluded spending money on a device ready to go allows me to do stuff I kind of enjoy instead of working to get it all working. I can come back and do it later if I get motivated. The $500 Cambridge player I looking at rated a 768/32 PCM and DSD 512 and claims the 192/32 and DSD 64 at it's digital outs if I want to consider another DAC.
