I'm considering a Micro Rendu for my setup. It would stand between the MacBook (acting as a "repository" of the music tracks) and the Dev. I understand clearly how this would work if I get myself a Roon license. But what if I don't want to use Roon? How would I control the music playing?How would you like to control your music? There are other options you can use with the microRendu, such as JRiver, HQ Player, and so on. I am not the biggest fan of Roon, so I am planning to try the microRendu with a number of alternatives. Unfortunately, I can't pass on any personal experience yet, I am currently waiting for my microRendu to be delivered! I have read elsewhere that JRiver and HQ Player work well.
Thanks, cheers!

Another option, install Minimserver on your Mac to act as a music server.
Use something like Linn Kazoo on a Mac, PC, or IOS device to control music playback.
Add Bubbleserver on Mac or microRendu if you are also using Tidal or Quboz.
You would then set the microRendu to DLNA output.
Mode #3a - DLNA Output - This output utilizes streams from UPNP/DLNA servers and controllers. This output can be configured as an OpenHome renderer. This output supports true gapless playback of PCM, DSD/DoP, and native DSD.
