The BR-20 has Roon Bridge which works.
Not perfect have to reboot once every week or so but so does my Roon-Core. For stability of OS and updates. BR-20 while this occurs the sound is stupendous, most excellent. Bryston will sort it out.

I didn’t pay retail which is 7k with HDMI card. Which considering you have a Pre-amp, DAC and streamer is a very good deal. As I listen to both my records and digital music collection I am constantly hearing nuances that I did not hear previously.

For main system Bricasti M21, replacing Lumin U1+Bricasti M3. An unexpectedly huge improvement, having thought of it as a sidegrade, part of a mission to reduce box count (also replaced multi-box Naim amps with Linear Tube integrated).

For headphone system, Musician Pegasus.
