Roon Nucleus as Network Player

I am using Roon ROCK on a NUC connected by USB to a DAC. USB is being galvanic isolated in DACs it’s just as good. I don’t know all the flowery language the reviewers use but it sounds great to me. It’s better than when I used a Node2i as the streamer. I’ll be changing and using a miniDSP Studio as the endpoint . I want to try dirac I wish you could integrate it into roon.

That's probably what I'll do.  I was thinking I wish you could simply export Dirac filters to Roon and not need the minidsp in the chain. 

I looked at the DDRC-22D but wasn't sure it could be connected by USB using ROCK as the controller it says only Windows or Mac so I went with the SHO Studio to connect with ethernet and use it as an endpoint. I think the Dirac is the same. 

The minidsp SHD and SHD Studio will function as a Roon endpoint they updated it last November to use RAAT you have to enable it through the Volumio player it then bypasses and will pass 24/192. Why I got the Studio to use my DAC. I am not sure if it's  been put on the approved list but I read in the forum people are using them.
