I already have speakers and amps.  I am simply looking for a high quality end point for Roon.

But its looking like the USB input on the Marantz is just for memory devices and I'm not sure it wall take audio input through it

 

You should still go for the MicroRendu, and then you add the Singxer F1 as an USB/SPDIF converter.

 

If you don't plan to upgrade your Marantz, the only way to do this properly is a USB/SPDIF converter. As said you can also test with your computer as an endpoint (Install Roon Brigde) and use HMDI. If you laptop has HMDI.
