S.M.S.L. M500 mkiii / Headphone DAC and Amp with Roon

I’m looking to find a really good amp / dac combo for a listening station next to my treadmill. Dedicated listening. A old pair of Sennheiser HD600s with new Dekoni earpads.

Can I use the M500 bluetooth to connect to a tablet running Roon like I can do with ifi Go Pods that connect to i.e.m.s and then bluetooth to tablet?

Sorry. I’m old and tech moves so fast and is so far reaching, would hate to buy and find out no.

Thanks,

I would think that you are better of with a Roon Ready device, all in one. In that case that device will do everything. You can see the list of all Roon Ready devices here: What does Roon work with?
As a suggestion: the FIIO R7. It is somewhat more expensive as the S.M.S.L M500, but that would cover all your needs.
If you want to use the S.M.S.L M500, then you have to put a streamer in front of it. This can be a cheap Raspberry Pi with RoPieee, or whatever other streamer that is Roon Ready.
I hope that this answer makes it somewhat more clear to you.
Kind regards, Frank.
