Signal from the M-Scaler is dual BNC to the Chord Cutest with max up-sampling of 768khz.
The Airport Express is old and quite limiting. I know they are easy to use but I honestly think that lovely suite of PS Audio gear would benefit from a more modern more capable streamer.
Music-wise I came from Apple’s ecosystem. I don’t have hi-res files, and this Stereophile review of the Apple AE says it outputs bit-perfect CD quality sound. I bought it (and later 2 more of it) when it first came out. It’s been almost 20 years, and I do want to get something new for my main system.
My rat would be jealous
ROON → iPhone → Fiio KA3 dongle DAC/Amp
is it a long path or a short screen? hehe

I wish they put DSP in ARC as well, at least PEQ!
Trying some upsampling within Roon (HQPlayer is too complicated for my simple mind ). Not sure if I hear much difference to playing straight PCM, but I‘m hanging on there!
Same for me. Sometimes I can hear, but I might be well imagining. I’ll keep on experimenting
