I'm also back to a bit of sitting on the fence today. My main dilemma is not wanting to be tied into aurenders iPad interface. I hear it's good, but I'd miss Roon - I know just from the screen grabs I've seen, that's one ugly interface. Aurender are implementing Roon, but when, and how much of the expensive Aurender hardware will be redundant at that point?
The great thing is this area does seem to be exploding, so the waiting might pay dividends. A raspberry Pi with Roon is definitely something I'd like to try but who knows when that will be released/stable.
My real curiosity now is how much better can my system sound with an Aurender (or similar) compared to a slightly optimised Mac. If it wows me I'll know that I can stick with my speakers and wait for the right streamer. If the Facts still aren't tamed in my setup, I'll know I'll have to make a change there.
