Given your existing kit, you might consider buying a 210 (streamer) instead of 218 (pre-amplifier).

The 218 is ‘Roon tested’ compared to the 210 which is fully ‘Roon Ready’.

The 218 is primarily geared towards Sooloos integration, whereas the 210 is fully ‘RAAT’ (Roon Advanced Audio Transport).

I own both simply because I integrate my legacy Meridian kit with the 218 via AC12.
