I use Roon with Qobuz, and endpoints are hardwired, so those are not shortcomings for me, but there you go. Judging from the responses to an earlier post of mine (linked), consensus among the geniuses in this forum is that any improvement over 16/44 is an illusion. Not sure I buy that, but there seem to be plenty of opinions and factoids to support both sides.I'm happy with my current setup, which uses a Sonore microRendu that I bought used at a great price. Ethernet in; USB out; minimal web-based UI; Roon-ready; that's everything I need. And it's native DSD capable, which has been fun for experimenting. But if it ever dies I like to keep abreast of the options, which seem to be growing rapidly.
Do you know of a plug and play single box streamer that will do the things you describe and is Roon-ready with USB output? For <$100, like the FiiO? Or <$200, what the mRendu cost me? Or any price?
. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .
