Fire TV Cube 3rd Gen - Roon

Congrats and not to spoil the fun, but IMHO using a tablet for control and casting its screen to the TV is superior. One could also connect a BT keyboard/trackpad to the tablet. Gets rid of the stretched screen and avoids having to sideload every update.

The stretched screen matters not if using a tablet because that is already your control and display. And no casting from the tablet necessary. Streaming directly from the Roon core to the Fire TV using unofficial Chromecast or AirPlay implementation is possible.

Client for > Amazon Fire TV Stick

That is a good recommendation. It also implements a Chromecast receiver, which seems to work better with Roon than the AirPlay receiver implementation does. All told, this is interesting because recent Fire TV models, such as Fire TV Stick 4K Max, have multichannel Alexa Cast sender functionality, thereby providing an Alexa Cast bridge between Roon and Echo devices. I just confirmed that this works properly even with an Echo Studio stereo pair. AJ

However, streaming via RAAT by sideloading the Roon APK and using the Fire TV as a non private zone endpoint is the real goal.
