Streamer/server that works as a Roon core


What makers besides Innuos, Antipodes, and Grimm offer a streamer/server that can also function as a Roon core?

I am currently using an Innuos Zen Mini Mark3 as a server and Roon core. It connects to a Meitner MA3i DAC/streamer, then to a McIntosh MA8950 that powers Sonus faber Olympica Nova IIIs and two Arendal 1723 1V subwoofers.

FWIW, the Meitner MA3i DAC/streamer is an improvement in my system from the Zen Mini streamer into the McIntosh's DAC2, though that pairing was quite satisfying for a number of years.

$1K Asus NUC mini PC (available on Amazon) makes for a killer Roon core and streamer using included dedicated ASIO audio out to external asynch DAC using USB 2 or 3.  Lightning fast, reliable and sound quality is top notch. 

@mapman - There are many versions, can you please share which one specifically you recommend? TIA
