The Bryston BDP-3 is Roon Ready. I have their Pi unit and it makes a solid Roon Endpoint and Bryston Support is good.

Streamer Comparison and Suggestions
I am considering options for a new streamer for the specific purpose of improving sound quality as a Roon endpoint feeding a DAC.
The set-up:
The Ambre is a Raspberry Pi based device with internal LPS and femto clocking. I am curious whether some of the more expensive, more well-known streamer options may result in improved sound quality as a Roon endpoint feeding my DAC - which is my only goal. I intend to continue using Roon to control Tidal, Qobuz, and my server stored music files so the addition of fancy touchscreens, on-board storage, or optional player software will not affect my decision unless the device also offers improved sound quality.
Streamers I have been considering are in the $5-8K price range and include:
Thanks for any suggestions and specifically any comparisons between the streamers listed above.

Are you suggesting either the ZENith Mk3 or the ZEN Mk3 along with the Phoenix USB reclocker? I noticed Antipodes did go from their separate EX/CX to the one box Oladra or K50 solutions. I really liked using the DX3 and would consider their K41 and K22 pair but their pricing went through the roof. If I wanted one box, the K50 would be on my list. |
