MSB Discrete DAC - Roon endpoint Renderer vs Lumin Streamer

Unless you’re pursuing used MSB, your dealer should be able to demo Discrete DAC with or without Roon endpoint. Personally, I would pair MSB DAC with external streamer. I highly recommend Innuos and depending on your timeline, Aurender N200 or N20 would make a formidable pairing as they are working on Roon integration. Aurender also offers exclusive integration of MSB’s Master clock via its Conductor app.

Thank you!  that master clock integration sounds good!

I used the Innuos Zen mkiii streamer with the Discrete with excellent results.

Will the Innuos Zen mkiii rip SACDs onto a drive?  

Looking at the inside of it online....looks like a small PC with an outboard power supply and a CD drive.....is this really that much better than an m2 mac mini with a custom power supply?
