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.
