With Roon you need:

1. A subscription to Roon (about £100 a year)
2. A computer on which to hold the Roon audio core software (your existing computer?)
3. An iPad or similar for secondary control (optional as it could be controlled from the computer but generally much nicer to use)
4. An MS200 audio endpoint (which connects to the F80 via optical digital)
5. Some form of storage if not held on the computer (eg a NAS)

If you go the Sooloos route you will need

1. A Sooloos audio core such as an MC200 (or possibly the new Sooloos core that will reside on a QNAP NAS)
2. An iPad for secondary control (optional as it could be controlled from your existing computer)
3. An MS200 audio endpoint (as before)
4. Some form of storage if not held on the computer (eg a NAS - but the QNAP option is the only one that will allow the Sooloos audio core to be installed actually on the NAS - this is not yet out but is expected shortly)

In both cases a wired network is recommended. The iPad is purely for control - the streaming is done via the Sooloos or Roon audio core software and picked up by the MS200 audio endpoint.
