I was worried about the noise from the computer to the DAC, but the people who design high end DACs should have that in mind to reduce as much noise as possible. I don’t need to touch the computer at all and if I need to I just remote desktop to it from somewhere else. But even if you believe so, do you think that Audirvana Studio sounds better than A 3.5 I can’t detect a significant difference. If you believe there’s a marked difference, that’s obviously important. We all have different tastes related to optimal sound presentation. As to which playback software sounded better, it remained a case of the Bridge app’s ultratransparent liquidity vs the Roon app’s softer-edged smoothness. Audirvana on this same computer can serve as a music server and it’s able to find all my airplay and upnp/dlna devices around the house then use the remote app to switch to device to stream to. I don’t think that Audirvana sounds better than Roon, but that’s subjective. Roon’s sound was smoother, with more apparent emphasis of the midrange and bass. I have one fanless computer in my main listening room connected directly to the DAC. Just in case you have not tried Audirvana, the streaming experience is similar to Roon at least it has more than what I need. Anyone here use an Arcam AVR10 with a SACD Player and a Macbook Pro (Audirvana, Roon, JRiver) I am unable to get any sound when playing a SACD from a Sony. I understand you wanted to get rid of the computer, but the SonicTransporter is just a better computer that can put as less as possible noise into your audio system. It would not be easy for people to give up their expensive DAC for something else with Roon compatible endpoint. However, it’s not very cost effective for a lot of people. If you already had Roon compatible endpoints around your house and all you need is Roon core, then that should work great for you. Roon streaming experience and metadata handling are excellent, no doubt.
