My Roon endpoint is an Ayre QX-5 Twenty that receives Ethernet and sends balanced analog to the KX-5 Twenty preamp. It is stereo only.
Before the QX-5, an iMac sent USB to the DX-5 DSD for Roon. Now the DX-5 DSD is used only for discs. Stereo can be balanced analog to the KX-5 or HDMI to a Bryston SP3; multichannel is HDMI to the SP3 that forwards balanced front LR to the KX-5 by-pass, balanced center to the JC 1, and balanced surround to a pair of NAD C-268s. Video is sent directly via HDMI from the DX-5 DSD to the projector, because the DX-5 has an excellent video processor.
