No help for those with IFI but for the same price, I have an allo USBridge signature that is very friendly and sounds great for the price range. I use Shanti power supply.

iFi Zen Stream (No USB output in Roon exclusive mode)
I recently purchased an iFi Zen Steam. The Zen Stream is connected via Audioquest Diamond USB to a Chord Cutest DAC. I was able to set the output to USB (Chord Cutest), but as soon as I turn on the Roon Exclusive mode it automatically switches to the default SPDIF. The GUI can not be accessed while in exclusive mode so I can change to usb output or used the Roon exclusive mode that is suppose to enhance sounds quality. What am I doing wrong? I also tried to change the output in Roon to USB, but it won’t let me. Thank you in advance for any help! Thank you!
Roon Core is a MacBook Pro with Tidal & Qobuz
Ethernet to switch then splits to MacBook Pro & Zen Stream

@tksteingraber Too much for here and too much for me to type, but I’ll explain a little.
Make sure you use Ubuntu for Arm64 and get the Roon for Arm64 as well. Intel/AMD binaries won’t work here. Fanless cases: |
@erik_squires Thanks that is perfect. I was able to look up the install instructions for Ubuntu and they explained it well. Just s couple more questions for you: Wanted to confirm the Pi4 a roon core and a streamer all in one? How does the SQ level rate with an LPS? Much appreciated. Thanks again, Tom

@tksteingraber Unfortunately Roon does not support the Pi 4 except as a stream end point. You'll notice there is no Core for Arm64 I use an ifi Power X for the Pi but can't say it's made a huge difference. |
@erik_squires Thanks for your patience with me getting up to speed , it’ been very helpful. Being a stream end point makes more sense. I have a sonic transporter that I us as my roon core for 2 systems so another is not needed. |
