I’ve been moving stuff around and things are definitely getting better! I also picked up an iFI Zen dac/amp to replace the Dragonfly Red in my “headphone station”. Seems like excellent value for money so far.

I still get more exercise than a man with four sofas should get

Beautiful and tasteful room. Except, of course, for the coasters.

My new portable Roon set up. Sony WH1000XM3 bluetooth headphones. Use them with my iPad, iPhone and MacBook. I can easily walk around the whole three bedroom apartment without no dropouts. Soundquality is excellent especially with MacBook Pro that has aptx codec. Hope the future Apple products would support aptx-hd or LDAC, but this is good enough for now.

@RBM Thank-you!! the coasters are my partners own pictures. Took her to Paris for 5 day spring 2018. We could see Notre Dame form our balcony!! - A beautiful city… one day we plan on moving there!!
OK, OK… Consider my comment withdrawn then. 
And yes – Paris can be lovely (even though I prefer London).

Hi all,
Here is the Roon setup I use everyday:
The speakers are the picture of the giraffes and the pink floyds. I had them printed on a Plexiglas support. A Dayton driver is at the back, as shown below.
The speakers are filtered (magnitude and phase) using impulses loaded in Roon. The filters were determined both from the geometry (open baffle compensation starting at 400 Hz if I remember well), the estimated resonances due to their distance from the rear wall and also from measurements. I also use a highpass filter at about 55 Hz otherwise I cannot push up the volume.
They are driven by a digital amp connected to a Raspebrry PI used as an end point. They are both in a cabinet (the one at the back of the above picture.
The amp and Raspberry PI are shown below.
Roon core is installed on Ubuntu LTS and I use either the phone or tablet to control it.
It is nothing fancy but they are not intrusive at all and they sound great for pictures :). The voices are surprisingly natural.

In the front room, a Primare set up and KEF Reference 1 speakers with a Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra. The recent addition of an Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt into the NUC with a pair of P9 headphones has made my favourite chair the perfect place to relax.

I love Sony headphones as well and use them at work to stream Qobuz. I will need to see if my MacBook Pro has the aptx codec!

Actually, they are B&W headphones. Not a great colour but they perform well.
It does. This will get you underway:

This is great, thanks! I use the headphones connected to my music library room’s iMac while I am managing the music database, so I look forward to seeing what codec is being used. Cheers!
