Cubox-i4Pro as an Audio Output

Once Roon 1.2 is released (with RoonBridge, formerly RoonSpeakers) then there will be many more options. A CuBox-i running a minimal Linux with a Wi-Fi dongle and a linear power supply or battery would be an inexpensive option. I’d really want to find out if that worked well enough before getting any fancier.

I don’t understand this comment: a Cubox-i solution, as a Roon + HQ Player endpoint is available now. Yes, you do need to buy an HQ Player license, but still puts the cost well below the ‘fancier’ options. And, the sound improvement with HQ Player is really nice.
