Multiple audio systems in different rooms; how to link them with streaming gear?


I want to go "all in" on hi-res streaming; hoping at the same time I can link multiple systems (like for a party).  Media room has Oppo 203, Lexicon MC-12, and Bryston power amps.  Family room has AV receiver and Logitech Squeezebox which plays files stored on office computer. Outdoor has Emotiva UMC-200 driving pro amps (Crown, Mackie).  Bedrooms have vintage separates (Parasound, Adcom, Sumo, etc.) playing CDs on Oppo DV-970HD's.  I'm considering Tidal or Qobuz on Roon (with Nucleus).  Will the Oppo 203 and Squeezebox work as end nodes?  What would be decent endnodes for the other systems?.  Or do I just get six Bluesound Nodes?  Max budget is ~$4k.

I use roon, one is wired, one is wireless.  they sometimes get slightly out of sync and I have to stop and start.  I'd look to fix this but I do i very seldom.  Just thought I'd mention it as an issue you may need to deal with.

I recommend the DTS Play-Fi ecosystem and you could connect all of your systems and run it with an app. I also have a Bluesound node but prefer the Play-Fi system because you have so many brands to choose from. You could start with a couple of Martin Logan Unison preamp/streamer by connecting one to your lexicon MC-12 and anther one to a bedroom systems’ They include ARC room correction and are on sale at 50% off:

use a good roon core/endpoint into your dac via usb and stream to nodes for other rooms
