Better Roon Endpoints?


Recommended Posts

I don’t know the other sources but for my Roon + iPhone 8 Plus + Chord Mojo sound so good that I am even thinking to buy a second iPhone to use it stable as endpoint.

A great somewhat inexpensive Roon endpoint is the old Bryston BDP-1 (I have two of them).  Can be had on the used market for less than $1K.  Built like a tank.  I think sound quality is better in MPD mode, but the Roon mode is very good.

Make sense. No wires from network. And battery power. Perfect.

 

And this iPhone works like any other endpoint ?  Meaning I still can use my iPad or PC and play from Roon ?

 

I can't see my iPhone from the other controllers. Do I miss a trick here ? 

Can anyone answer why I can use my iPhone to play Tidal music in my stereo (iPhone X > lightning USB-3 camera adapter > USB-A to USB-B cable > Schiit Eitr > coax > emmlabs DCC2 and it sounds good.  Yet, when I listen to IEMs with my iPhone X  > lightning USB-3 camera adapter > USB-A to USB-C > Earmen Sparrow DAC >> balanced cable to Fiio FH3 IEM, I get iPhone EMI intermittently (some places worse than other) which is not present when using my MacBook Pro with Sparrow and IEMs, or when I put phone in airplane mode.
