What I want in a Music Streamer is a one-stop-shop. While the sound quality is first and foremost, convenience and ease of operation are the primary reasons for having a Music Server. Over the years, my one complaint about all the Music Streamers I have reviewed is the need for an external computer or server to house my drives and run the control software. I mean, Roon is great and all, but I prefer to do as much as possible in hardware rather than software as it is more efficient and in high-end audio efficiency of the signal’s path equates to sound quality.
