Hmm I am not quite understanding given you’ve got DSPs and a DAC stage there, so not sure how adding a USB DAC will help, if the signal is digital out of the Zidoo?
When you say flat and emotionless I think that is hard to really quantify. Is the sound too bright and lacking bass, for example? I’d have a play with your Roon EQ settings, it’s free and if you don’t like it you can turn it off again.
Is the Panasonic a Roon End Point? Could give that a go if it is and compare? If I had to, I’d be happy using my Oppo 203 as a Roon end point into my G65. But I had a spare MS600 so thought best to use that rather than it gathering dust.
