Most inexpensive ALL-IN-ONE roon amplfier

Audio Gear Talk

I have integrated Roon at home in my first and second stereo. For a further integration in more rooms (less quality driven, just as background music) I would love to install an all-in-one amp (as compact as possible) and compact speakers.
For design reasons i want to avoid RooPi DYI stuff (succuessfully did that where looks dont matter). But i those rooms I am planning this for, I really have to keep it simple and stylish. Any ideas?

Thanks but i was looking for an all-in-one-Amplifier… I would like to choose the speakers myself.

The smallest and most stylish (subjective) and not exuberantly expensive Roon-ready products I have encountered is the Pro-Ject S2 line: https://roonlabs.com/partners/project.html

But it is not a one box solution, but a two or three box solution. Still small though.

Hifiberry Amp2 plus a Raspbery pi and Ropieeee. I have 2 and they don’t sound bad at all.

Bit industrial hifi looking but the NAD range with inbuilt blueOS cards are all in ones.

Bluesound Powernode is an alternative.

Google Home mini – they’re literally giving them away.

NAD 368 with the additional BluOS module option. All in one Roon Ready amp. Probably 1300 to 1400 all told.

Or a cheap two box solution would be a NAD 3020 V2 fed by an Allo DigiOne via Coax. Works great! Prob, about 700ish all told. But, 2 boxes. Although the space of the 2 boxes is still less by a third the space of the 368. Edit, and if you wanted DSD and MQA playback a NAD 3045 instead, but that is another couple hundred.

Or this one from Audiophonics to stay with RAAT (for zone-grouping) and maybe RoPieee works on this? @spockfish

Used iPad as a roon endpoint with a wall mount and bluetooth over to Vanatoo Transparent zero active speakers.

“The most expensive thing you do is the cheapest.” Look at Schiit.com (seriously) The Vidar is $699. They have more expensive models too.

I think the OP wanted an AMP that was also networked and Roon Ready.

Really nice, but not “the most inexpensive…” :wink:

How about the Roon Ready ELAC DS-A101-G?

Nice, but $750? The new Nest Home Mini at $49 is a clear leader in this race. Speaker, too! Use two of them for stereo!
