Briscati m5 sample rate 192 and chord TT2
Great news.  Bricasti as a player between roon nucleus and a TT2 chord dac seems like a great line up. 
Why not combine streamer, roon core,endpoint, server and cd ripper together??
So looking at the antipodes dx and seems this is a very good device.   A basic nice looking box, but not flashy. I am going back and forth between standalone server device and player device.  Soooo much overlap.  Maybe I will get a nucleus and a s... 
DAC for Bricasti Design M5 Network Player
Planning to get the m5.  Is a chord tt2 a good companion?  Saw m5 specs saying sampling rate up to 192 for m5, but tt2 clearly can go a lot higher.  Is this limiting factor??

It is a very expensive box, innuos zenith mk3.i am thinkIng about assembling the pieces separately, and may do a lot better this way. Could get a nucleus and briscasti m5 network player, and an ssd - all for about the same price. Seems this would ... 
Streamers, servers, players - woefully overpriced??
How can I improve on a roon nucleus if I do it myself?  Why don’t others sell similar standalone units?  Either DIY or buy a nucleus nothing in between.

I think techno risk for obsolescence is minimal given this area of the audio signal foodchain.  Improvements will be made and hoping firmware updates will mitigate this.  Can see a dozen yrs of use for this basic equipment.

Power management is key and for innuos, this is a big part of why it works so well so they say.   Crazy not to consolidate all this stuff.  Going upstream with amps, dacs, preamps, it will likely remain separate due to size.  But all the heavily r... 
Lifetime Roon is a go - alternative to Roon Nucleus
so including the so including the roon core inside a streamer box, eg. innuos zenith is not a problem.  Value of a stand-alone headless roon core device Is not a concern.i would like to avoid having a separate box like a roon nucleus, when it coul... 
Lifetime Roon is a go - alternative to Roon Nucleus
i am 13 years old and pride myself on thinking for myself.  My parents spoil me by letting me buy overpriced audio products.  Streaming is a technical jungle filled with peril.   
Lifetime Roon is a go - alternative to Roon Nucleus
missing a fan less case? What does this mean?the nuc linked on amazon from roon is fanless? This nuc is noisefree? 
Lifetime Roon is a go - alternative to Roon Nucleus
So I can buy a nucleus + ssd from Roon all put together for about 1800, vs 400 for nuc plus another 100 for both ssd and ram as prescribed by Roon.that is a huge mark up , what am I missing. 
Is the Roon Nuceus device a good streamer?
Ejr1953do you also have a streamer?Roon nucleus includes streamer in its description, but hearing need for a separate streamer.  Very confusing. 
Is the Roon Nuceus device a good streamer?
I like the auralic Aries G2’s which seems a really nice alternative to the Roon nucleus.   
Is the Roon Nuceus device a good streamer?
Arafiq,thanks for comment. On paper what u have looks good, sorry for your problems. I like the standalone nature of the Roon nucleus.  Desktop connection i use seems fine but don’t like the complexity of linking to a separate room and keeping it ... 
Ideal Connection path to a dac?
I Like the Pro-Ject S2 Ultra Streamer, and interesting to see the HDMI video out.  Curious how this is used?i am hoping the usb out will allow a meaningful improve to SQ with all the addl bandwidth available. Still, trying to avoid using a separat...
