@lanx0003 LOL! Thanks for the clarification of your intent and my mis-reading! For near-field listening room correction is certainly irrelevant.
Network DAC suggestions? Wiim Pro? ...
I am looking for Network DAC (NDAC) for my computer desktop system, so near field listening, with Denon bookshelf speakers, nothing fancy. I don't do any web-streaming of any kind.
Signal paths in it should be able to handle is
A) Roon -> LAN -> NDAC B) Computer - USB - NDAC C) iPhone airplay - NDAC
out: NDAC -> single ended line out to either amp-speakers or headphone amp (Woo WA6 SE with upgraded WE422; Dan Clark Ether 2), selected via Tisbury SE switch.
The Wiim Pro seems to check all boxes, possibly with exception of switchable op amps. Anything else to consider? Not opposed to tubes/tube rolling either. Should not be too large, so something with a Wiim footprint (or smaller, set on side) would be good.
Currently using a Topping D50 with busted display, and Roon from my DTP computer keeps dropping, so want to go form dedicated Roon server - LAN - NDAC as Roon endpoint directly.
Price: Definitely <$1K. so Wiim Pro at $250-ish sounds good. Could go with or without built-in amp (should be able to drive 6 ohm speakers at low levels).
TIA
