It really seems like this should be built into the SE’s...
There’s always a Bluesound Node 2 for $500. Does MQA, Roon endpoint as well. Looks nice too. SPDIF coax out and no Meridian integration, of course.

But you’re still paying for a nice DAC in there you won’t use. wink

M#1: Bluesound Node (N130)>DSP3100 + Analog Sub
M#2: WiiM Pro > DSP5000
