So I can use the mini pc to the AVR - move the gigabit PC over to the 2 channel system for a DSD dac input? How do you load apps on it?

you connect Android TV stick to TV via HDMI. Most TVs have linear audio out or optical SPDIF - you feed that to your DAC. Android TV stick is just like screenless, batteryless phone - you install apps from Google Play.

OK - so let me get this right. I am currently using a mini PC -> AVR running Roon. it then sends wifi to CCA to a separate 2 channel system. But it has dropouts sometimes. I think its the CCA.

I would like to hear 5.1 DSD but 2 channel DSD will be ok. So I owuld move the PC to the 2 channel rig. and plug the mini stick into the AVR (but no DSD there, no multi channel dacs that are inexpensive.) And Roon would recongize the android TV stick as an endpoint? Any model that would work?
