These included the Aurender X100 and W20, DCS Network Bridge, Wattson Emerson, and Devialet Roon. The Roon core was either a Nucleus+ or a dedicate MacBook Air. In my opinion the best sound quality in general was achieved with the Wattson Emerson connected to the Devialet by spdif, with the Nucleus as Roon Core.

Interesting. Over the years I have listened to many things feeding a Devialet, and I would say that the Aurender W20 (via AES/EBU) was one of the very best. So if the Watton Emerson has a similar / better performance, that is very impressive. (I think the W20 is about 10 times the price)
I have read some very positive reports regarding the Wattson Emerson. I think that I would probably have bought one if it was HQPlayer / NAA compatible, which it is not unfortunately.
