Room EQ Wizard, Audio Output

You need a DAC that you can connect to the Mac using optical (if your Mac supports it) or USB. And then use that DAC to connect to your system. Without knowing what your other electronics are, maybe the product that supports Roon and Qobuz also has a USB audio input.

Doesn’t your laptop have a mini jack for headphones? You just need an adapter from that to RCA. It’s plenty good for your use.

If your laptop is Bluetooth only you'll need to get a USB or Blutooth DAC instead.  ~ $50 or less.

I just saw that you are using Roon.  If you have test files, you can copy them over to your Roon library and treat them like any other ripped tracks.  This is what I do, which lets me apply Room's DSP/EQ and measure the results.

Thanks Erik and Neko,

Seems like an A/V receiver would do the trick - then I could hook up my speakers to it.  I think it all has to start from room EQ Wizard, can't initiate from Roon.  I'll see if I can scrounge up a receiver.

I'm finding this project to be a tad frustrating.  How do I measure my room, interpret those results, figure out which products I need and where, and then remeasure, etc.?  Do I hire a a consultant?  Do I do it all myself?

Whole lot easier to buy some fancy cables or box that supposed to scrub my electricity (though I believe they wouldn't have nearly as much impact as improving my room).
