Wouldn’t you get that with just a computer as well? I know I do.
My listening chair experience is like this:
- iPhone or iPad with remote app for either Audirvana or Roon (I haven’t paid for Roon in many months, so mostly Audirvana for me), and/or:
- iPad with remote desktop app (Jump) putting the Mac desktop into my hands
Backend:
- Mac mini without keyboard, mouse or monitor, running Audirvana, iTunes, Radio Paradise, TotalMix FX, DigiCheck NG, Dirac Live Processor and whatever else I need
- DigiFace USB connected to Mac via USB, stereo DACs hanging off it (S/PDIF) doing stereo and subwoofer channels (previously just a stereo DAC connected to the Mac)
- Local and NAS files, streaming, Internet radio, Youtube.
