Thoughts on the iFi Zen Streamer

I am looking for input from those who have knowledge on this streamer. I have been considering the latest Bluesound Node. I have a quality DAC.

Have held off on getting a streamer until I move in and have internet installed. Not yet sure which unit I will purchase. I remain thankful for all advise provided. Mike

I run a Nucleus+ but most will do just fine with a Nucleus. Many other options to host Roon. Currently running four endpoints, each with a Zen Stream, two with wired ethernet, two with wireless. Stable and excellent sound quality in "Roon Exclusive" mode.
