Just trying to gauge how many people would be interested in a Roon endpoint that can do the following:
S/PDIF out optical (Toslink) up to 24 bit 192kHz
S/PDIF out coaxial up to 24 bit 192kHz
Ethernet and Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5G)
External Power Supply
Plug and Play
Price $200

Sounds like a Raspberry Pi?

Well, sounds more like a Pi with a HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro, except that that only costs $140.
So for the extra $60, you’d assemble it, put RoPieee on it, and ship it? Sounds reasonable.

If that includes everything with a decent looking case then yes its probably a good product to offer. Needs to have enough weight in the case to be stable with ethernet and power and digital cables connected without being dragged off what its sitting on.
I would still want it to support USB connected DAC too.

Interested to
So far two people are interested, if I can get 5 people to purchase I can make these units and ship within a few weeks.
