A little surprised to find there ( or not to find) an inbuilt DAC.

Did you test the MU1? Thoughts?

Long time ago, I tried it with the LS1s and as a Roon core, doesn’t make any difference to SQ how could it, so it works and might be convenient as a Roon core but so expensive.
Just another solution for a problem which doesn’t exist.
