Better Roon Endpoints?

I can confirm my iPhone X sounded different (possibly even better?, deeper and open soundstage, but was a quick test) than a MacBook playing to a Hugo 2 over USB via Iso Regen.

 

For or some reason playback stops when the device is locked. More testing required.

Here’s my current setup which allows charging via the iPad Pro Smart Connector (Logitech charging stand) while playing over CCK to a USB DAC (Curious USB, ISO Regen + JS-2, Hogo 2).

 

Music keeps playing after locking screen as well.

 

Gotta love the flexibility software can bring to the table!

Sounds better than 2015 MacBook doing the same. Haven’t compared to a Rendu solution because I don’t have one.
