Why not combine streamer, roon core,endpoint, server and cd ripper together??

All these threads seems like audiophile intellectual masturbation...

So looking at the antipodes dx and seems this is a very good device.   A basic nice looking box, but not flashy. 
I am going back and forth between standalone server device and player device.  Soooo much overlap.  
Maybe I will get a nucleus and a separate player.

what the heck does ‘endpoint’ mean??  It mostly refers to the player device I guess.  Just say player.  Very very confusing marketing spiel.

Endpoint is used when speaking of using Roon.  All players aren’t endpoints.
