If the board was RoonReady, it just means a true Roon zone, able to sync with any other Roon RAAT zone and benefit from anything they add to RoonReady devices in the future. Plus it's fully under the control of Roon for support/development. Well, nearly, Devialet obviously do the work their end but a Roon QA it 
Not sure how the Melco would fit in. You won't be able to mix upnp with RoonReady. Possibly if the card can mount the Melco over USB it would work but then the music all gets pulled to the Roon core and sent back again. So a bit pointless. Probably the Melco would just be a NAS.
I mean Roons central brain is called the Core, and the new streamerboard is called the 'Core infinity' but I assume that's just a coincidence rather than the Roon Core running on your Devialet... Danny did say on the Roon forum more power in the new streamerboard meant they 'could do more with it' but I guess this is a step too far. Who knows?
