PS Junior is Roon Ready and 'just works"!

UPDATE: Currently I have my core set up in my office on an iMac. There I’m using a Schitt Jotunheim DAC/AMP which is okay but I’d rather have a separate DAC. In my remote bedroom, I use the SMSL M8 with the iFi iCan amp. I would use that for the office/core but the iFi iCan doesn’t have connectors for my speakers.
I have the same set but roon is not able to change the freq of the dac… it actually uses the frequency if finds… which I have to set using a different program, i.e. amarra!
I’m using macos sierra.
Is also roon in the process of certifying the young dsd as a roon ready dac?
I’m asking this because the audio path shows “OS Mixer” at the end of it.
Thanks!
Couldn’t help myself. Just ordered the Hugo 2.
Far from rational (my current DAC sounds wonderful), but that’s the beauty of this hobby I guess

Mac Mini is quiet when running roon server, not so when running roon.
DAC: Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital
Whoever named it should be shot, but it sounds good and looks like a baby-dac

Love my MAC Mini for running RoonServer…modified to run on 12 VDC, it works great!!! I use a Audiobyte DDC to furnish an AES signal to my Yggy!
Roon + Yggy = Nirvana for me!
