The sonica range and newly announced sonica dac would be good candidates. I think they support Apple airplay but I would like to see RAAT supported natively.

Iāve seen the user manual. Airplay is covered, but nothing about RAAT.
Iāve read the manual tooā¦but I think they are probably in development still if even that far yetā¦fingers x it will be soon tho that we get some news
With so much reliant on software these days such features can be added later.
Any update on this topic, about which Roon is able to speak?
While waiting for my Oppo 203 ( in December ) I e-mailed them and they said that they had no plans to support MQA at this time but that it could change in future .

Iām more interested in sending multi channel audio over the network from Roon to my Oppo than MQA

I just got into Roon recently and was hoping to use a Sonore device to send multichannel to my Oppo 105, but unfortunately it turns out that the USB DAC is only stereo 
Since you can play high resolution multichannel Flacs just fine with the Oppoās (crappy) network browser or through a USB stick, I have my fingers crossed that Roon can find a way to unlock the multichannel potential of the Oppo.

When I asked them about ROon and mch stuff about 2 weeks ago, they replied that roon is not on their list. However they also said they were investigating it .
I also asked if the new oppo 205 would accept mch audio via USB, but they said that the usb input would be limited to stereo. I think they would do mch for network streaming or external HDD or recorded on disc media
It would be realy great if USB input was multichannel capable. Maybe a future firmware ugrade can make that happen if enough people ask for it .
I asked the Oppo official rep over at Head-Fi about Roon, just a couple of days ago, and here is his reply:

ROON is also being looked into, but I have my doubts that it will ever be added to any of our product line due to a general lack of support we have received from system integration and streaming service partners.[/quote]
I get the impression they think Roon is a āstreaming serviceā.
You have to use the HDMI input to get the 105 to process multi-channel. As you noted, the player knows what to do with multichannel files with its own browser (network or locally attached) or when pushed to the HDMI input. The USB inout doesnāt do MCH. On another thread, Iāve been imploring the folks from Sonore to figure out a way to activate the HDMI port of the Sonic Orbiter, but they donāt get it.
Is it possible to use a macmini as an hdmi endpoint and use it to feed OPPO s HDMI input. Does Oppo accept mch audio bitstream from hdmi.
Yes. Iāve done it.

Yep I currently have a NUC into my Oppo via HDMI due to running out of inputs on my receiver and it works a treat !
does Oppo accept native multichannel dsd signal
There is definitely demand for an Oppo Roon endpoint: http://emotivalounge.proboards.com/thread/48977/oppo-uhd-203?page=5
Hmm whatās the last poster saying in that thread? The Oppo 203 can act as a Squeeze Box endpoint?
I canāt see any mention of that in the manual here: http://download.oppodigital.com/UDP203/UDP-203_USER_MANUAL_ENGLISH_V1.0.pdf
Oh the same gentleman also says:
" it does have a Squeeze Server Endpoint! It found my local Squeeze Server and listed it under its āNetworkā tab. So Iām guessing that the UDP-203 can be used for listening to my very large FLAC collection. Interesting because this isnāt advertised at all on their web page or their manual. "
Has anyone tried this? If so, then itās a Roon endpoint, with Squeeze box mode enabled in Roon Server ! 
I, too, am curious. I have an Oppo UDP-203 on the same subnet as my Roon core. But I did not find a way to enable Squeezebox support between the two. If anyone can advise, I will be happy to experiment and troubleshoot.

Andrew, if no one here has had any luck, it might be worth asking that gentlemen in that other forum, that has his Oppo 203 acting as a Squeeze Server Endpoint. Of course I hope someone can jump in here.
I have an Oppo 103 and would be happy to upgrade to the 203 if this is indeed the case.
You have enabled Squeeze Box support in Roonās settings and when you go to the Audio tab in Roon, you donāt see the Oppo 203 as an endpoint?
