Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith


I am looking to replace my Innuos Zenith mkIII. After the long anticipated wait of a few years for their own software and it is still a mess for iOS users I have decided its time to move on. What do you all suggest for something like the Zenith but hopefully a step up in sound quality? I still have a Roon license so I am OK with using a Roon based product.
Thank you

I interact via Andriod tablet and am experiencing the same frustration. Was previously running Roon core on my Zenith and it was functionally rock solid and of course the Roon interface is pretty sweet. I stream from Tidal and the current implementation leaves much to be desired. Even with this I am not ready to pull the chute just yet. I'm going to practice patience at least in the short term in hopes that Innuos get their act together.
A few weeks back I logged a ticket with Innuos about anomalies with Tidal integration. I’d been seeing inconsistencies with playlists, favorites, missing tracks and other unusual behavior. I got an email from Nuno at Innuos saying issues similar to the ones I reported have been fixed in 2.0.6. I updated my Zenith mk3 a couple days ago and am happy to report that fixes have in fact been made. Seems like there are some improvements with server connectivity as well? The connection seems to be more persistent and reconnects are faster. Still a long way to go to get to Roon functionality, but good on them for the updates and progress; very encouraging.
