I’d like to put a small footprint device in a den side table that is devoted to full sized headphones. I would like to stream to the device from the Tidal and Roon iOS apps so the device needs to be a Tidal and Roon endpoint. (I use an iPad as my UI and control device). The unit needs to connect to my home network wirelessly as there is no Ethernet nearby. (If I have to I can connect the device by using one of the adaptors that streams Ethernet over the power lines.) And it needs to have a great headphone amp with a 1/4” TRS (and ideally also a balance balanced) connection to feed my full-sized headphones.
This setup will replace some IEMs that are plugged into a USB C dongle fed directly by my iPad.
What devices would you recommend that fit the bill? So far all I’ve found is a Rose RS250A, but it’s much larger than I’d like, I don’t know the quality of the headphone amp, and it’s expensive.
