Why not combine streamer, roon core,endpoint, server and cd ripper together??

A grand combination, would be ideal to bring these essentials together in a nice looking package.

Add’l processor noise an issue? a big deal?
Ok to combine a roon nucleus and streamer together?

seems high end products can handle all this quite well, innuos, and hopefully others. 

most of us no longer have the hearing skills of a teenager or audiophile marketing salesperson.

It is a very expensive box, innuos zenith mk3.

i am thinkIng about assembling the pieces separately, and may do a lot better this way. Could get a nucleus and briscasti m5 network player, and an ssd - all for about the same price. Seems this would offer a lot more quality and don’t have to get tortured assembling a nucleus from a nuc. Plus if something goes wrong with the mk3 combined unit, I am not out 4500.

As I predicted, you will complain Innuos is too expensive 😂😂.

Fyi, you picked the second most expensive in Innuos line, the Zenith. The least expensive is ZEN Mini. Then the ZEN, then the ZENith.

Here are the prices: http://www.innuos.com/en/catalog/go/music-servers-mk3

So looking at the antipodes dx and seems this is a very good device.   A basic nice looking box, but not flashy. 
I am going back and forth between standalone server device and player device.  Soooo much overlap.  
Maybe I will get a nucleus and a separate player.

what the heck does ‘endpoint’ mean??  It mostly refers to the player device I guess.  Just say player.  Very very confusing marketing spiel.
