@Sloop_John_B - great question John. This is potentially a great community resources. People can refer to it to see what works.

Myself, I’ve got a Musical Fidelity MX DAC USB connected to a SonicOrbiter SE in RoonReady mode. Though sometimes I switch the SOSE to HQ NAA mode, and fire up HQ Player. Both work great.

Roon–>HQPlayer–>NAA–>iFiMicro IDSD–>Red Wine Audio Isabellina just using as headphone amp for now. I’m looking forward to rebuilding a speaker system after selling it all before my move to Mexico…
