Thanks for taking the time to post that info it really helped. So, in summary, if I used my iMac as a Roon 'Core' then potentially I can use the Roon software on there to access files on my NAS, Tidal and Qobuz and stream them to Roon compatible 'end points'. In doing so I assume the Linn kit would be classed as and recognised as end points by Roon once the Linn software with Roon support was updated.
Have I got that right?
If I have then I must admit I am a little baffled, still, by what it offers that something Like Kazoo doesn't? Sure, Kazoo can't re-order files, amend tags, add artwork etc but I run Audirvana+ side by side with Kazoo on my iMac and that does a pretty decent job in editing tags and integrates with Tidal and Qobuz pretty well, also decoding MQA.
I may be being a bit thick (not unusual) but I just can't see what's so groundbreaking about it. Maybe it's me
