For $399 you can get an iFi Zen Stream - have one in my vintage system, and it’s performed well.  I use it as a Roon endpoint with a Topping DAC.

Roon to start with isn’t state of the art on SQ. Why buy an endpoint without connectivity to the major streaming services? And anyway: a server not serving anything isn’t of any service

That’s in Singapore Dollars.  It’s about $1010 US.

$1349 appears to be the price.

 

leaving aside the well regarded dacs that put them on the map, greed seems to be a notable thru-line in recent product intros (12th anniversary, versions and more versions) from these folks in guangdong... they seem to have outdone themselves in this case, with a not ready for prime time streamer

@curiousjim my mistake over here - definitely didn't realize that. Regardless, thanks for correcting on this thread.
