I personally use a Naim NDX, which is a streamer/DAC. I only use the streaming portion as I have an MSB Analog DAC. It works flawlessly, has a great DAC of its own, and IMHO, the free Naim streaming app is superior to Roon is several ways. First, no Roon fees or Roon core required, so no $120/yr. Second, the Naim app works glitch free, and although it is not as comprehensive as Roon, it provides a lot of nice write-ups on albums. Third, sound quality seems the same. Fourth, I find it easier to locate the album that I want to listen to than Roon, as the albums are displayed in an alphabetical list by artist, as you have set up in your folder. Fifth, works like a charm with my server, so no special maneuvers are required, unlike Roon. Sixth, there is no drain on resources on the computer, unlike Roon, which must be running 24/7 in the background. So, bottom line, the Naim is an excellent streamer and the control app is excellent!
