Aurender W20SE .Expensive but not one moments grief .
Lindemann Limetree into Denafrips Ares ii. Both fantastic bits of kit. And both companies have excellent customer support in my direct experience.
Raspberry Pi with some add on boards from Ian Canada to improve the clock and data and to get a I2S output to feed my DAC
The Pi is also getting its DC voltage via Ian canada power supply

Lumin U1 Mini feeding a Bryston BDA-3 DAC. The Lumin replaced an UltraRendu and was a definite sonic improvement.

I use DAC3 from Benchmark media. Did a (single) blind comparison with NAIM NDX2 (with separate extra power) streaming directly from QOBUZ , and the DAC3 connected via USB to a NUC running Rock and Roon. Latter was the clear winner with regards to sound quality. Not by a landslide, but clear enough.
Roon via Naim Roon-ready was even a little worse for the SQ.
Since then, sold anything Naim 2nd hand, and replaced it with Benchmark media, for better SQ (in my personal opinion) and plenty extra cash in my pocket.
RPI4 with GentooPlayer as Diretta audio network protocol 'target, fed from Desktop HQPlayer on Win10 as source/host for Diretta via Diretta ASIO drivers. Soundwise this beats RoopieeeXL, Moode or Volumio or any other streamer that I have heard so far. By far!

Finally settled on the A Capella III from Musica Pristina. All US made Streamer, certified Roon Ready and it has I2S output!
Wonderful streamer with very low noise floor and fantastic sound into my Directstream DAC.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
