Unless you’re pursuing used MSB, your dealer should be able to demo Discrete DAC with or without Roon endpoint. Personally, I would pair MSB DAC with external streamer. I highly recommend Innuos and depending on your timeline, Aurender N200 or N20 would make a formidable pairing as they are working on Roon integration. Aurender also offers exclusive integration of MSB’s Master clock via its Conductor app.
MSB Discrete DAC - Roon endpoint Renderer vs Lumin Streamer
Thinking of getting an MSB Discrete DAC and I'm trying to decide on just getting the renderer network card to use as a Roon endpoint or skipping that and purchasing a streamer/player to feed the DAC. What streamer is on par with the MSB Discrete DAC?
