Got it. Could end up with lots of boxes though. Roon core or server, with separate power supply, buffer, dedicated endpoint, and dac. Then there’s the router and network stuff, or lots of cat five cable to connect them to your other boxes My wife just calls them boxes, saying how many boxes do you really need?
New Denafrips recklocker/converters: IRIS and GAIA
Denefrips recently announced new products that recklock and convert DSD and PCM.
IRIS - $472:
---------------
Input: USB
Output: I2s-HDMI, I2s-RJ45, Coax, AES and Toslink
GAIA - $1604
-----------------
Input: Coax, Toslink, AES, USB
Output: I2s-HDMI, I2s-RJ45, Coax, AES x 2, Toslink
Both have connections to add external clocks.
Might be worth looking into if you have a DAC that has I2s, (or another input) that your streamer does not output that you'd like to try. Available for pre-order. I might have the prices wrong, as I tried to convert from Singapore dollars.
