Cool. I’m another Shannon Parks fan. Have you looked into rooPlay? It’s a Roon extension that enables lossless streaming (up to 24-bits, 192 kHz, but Waxwing tops out at 96 kHz) from your DSP phono stage to Roon Server. Your turntable shows up like an Internet radio station. For example:
The configuration in Roon is pretty simple. I’m using a URL that looks like this:
http://192.168.1.111/audio/?playbackSource=interface&interfaceSampleRate=96000
Where, the IP address corresponds to a little Raspberry Pi 4 that runs the Roon extension software. I’m using this optical to USB adapter to connect my Parks Audio Puffin (predecessor to the Waxwing) to the RPi 4:
This YouTube playlist from the author of the rooPlay extension covers the basics of this setup: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR4zWskIKp33D18WS3HuYCMeL2tl9nVXu&si=bpTV5VseCFAeBISS
The benefits to doing this are pretty amazing. Basically, anything you can do in Roon you can now apply to vinyl playback. This includes OPRA headphones optimization, advanced DSP for digital room correction using Roon’s convolution engine, zone grouping and transfer, PEQ, etc.
Sadly, no support for Roon ARC yet since Live Radio is available in ARC yet. Perhaps someday, but you would not be able to travel far from your system since you have to flip the record every twenty or so minutes.
Hope you and/or others find this information helpful.
