I will also probably be an early adopter. One of the reasons is because it runs Linux. The Microrendu will replace a small laptop running Voyage Linux/Squeezelite. I've got LMS with BrutefirDrc running on a different computer (also with Voyage Linux). I'll use this combination until Roon introduces a convolver.
This setup sounds good, but just as important it works extremely well with the USB input of my 250. I expect that Roon with RAAT on the Microrendu will be just as reliable and have even better sound quality.
EDIT: I should say that I keep my 250 in sleep mode, not the low power state between sessions. I do not know how Microrendu will behave when the USB input is turned off.
