Sweet setup Mark, can I ask where you got your rack/stand from? Was it a custom build?
It is a custom build, but based on a Finite Elemente design.

Just upgraded my venerable QUAD 44 + 405 combo to a new QUAD Artera Link + Artera Stereo system, driving a pair of QUAD ESL 57s. The Artera Link is currently connected via USB to a Roon Ready Sonore microRendu.
The icing on the cake would be for QUAD to make the Artera Link a Roon Ready device in addition to the existing support for Airplay (yeuch!). I live in hope.

About a year ago I managed a 10% discount off the life subscription from a Hifi forum, unfortunately I canât remember which one! Google for Roon Voucher will probably help if youâre still looking. 
Thanks Paul
Hi Sebastian,
Nice setup! Iâm also interested in getting the Yamaha CD-S2100.
-Do you have any issues playing 24bit Flac files and DSD?
-Can the DAC play 5.6 and 11.2 DSD?
-Howâs the experience with the DAC and Roon in generalâŠany advice?
Thanks!

Amp: Schiit Mjolnir 2

Do you have the Google Home hooked up so you can say âOK Google, play Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd from Second Helping via Roon to microRenduâ?
Quite a mouthful but would be pretty darn cool.
Not really. Google Home just happens to be placed there for other things. Nothing to do with the system. I wishâŠ
Itâs hard to see it, but the Insignia HD Radio in my system is really a gutted box with a disassembled laptop inside. On the back of the box is Cat5, USB and power connections. I do everything through VNC and run Roon Bridge on this. My server (core) sits in another room. Pretty fun project and gives me hours of enjoyment.
