They did that and called it Antipodes DX.
Some believed servers sound better with the ripper mechanism removed and others believed separating the core and endpoint improve the sound of Roon so they developed the CX/EX solution.
They admirably offered updates to the DX as technology improved (I updated twice) but then eventually discontinued it as well as the CX/EX.
They now have a whole new line-up at new/higher prices. I have no idea how the newer stuff sounds but I can say my upgraded DX is still sounding very nice and it is in fact convenient to have everything in one place although I am using a separate Roon endpoint and not the endpoint in the DX.
