There are many streamers that will act as Roon endpoints. Realistically, Audirvana is computer only in my opinion, they say it’s DNLA compatible but that doesn’t seem to be the case in the real world. Plus, I can’t see why anyone would want to use both Roon and Audirvana since they both essentially do the same thing. The consensus seems to be that Audirvana sounds better than Roon, but Roon is way more compatible with external streamers.
Educate me on music streamers, please.
I just recently started a trial of Roon, Audirvana, Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz and Spotify. In the past, I just played FLACs on Foobar or streamed on Google Play.
Roon and Audirvana are pretty cool and I like that you can add Tidal and Qobuz but you can't add Deezer (I really like Deezer's Flow). I don't like that I can't stream Deezer to my Raspberry Pi with RopieeeXL.
So, I was thinking that maybe a music streamer that has all of these services would be a good idea. Anyone have one they like? Do they have their own "sound"? I have a DAC - so would the DAC sound change whatever comes out of the streamer?
Sorry for the basic questions. I appreciate any help.
