    Dutch & Dutch 8c Speakers

    As a nubee to Roon using a PC, I sure like the idea of having a kinesthetic, hefty volume knob. I suppose I'm a bit 'old fashioned'. Hopefully other members have some experience with the rooDial or/and the rooNuimo.

    I currently stream Tidal & FLAC via USB into my APL DSD Mr MkII from my laptop. I'll need to look into what hardware/software (Roon) I would need. I'll also need a USB>AES converter & cable. If you have suggestions, please guide me. Simplification has complications.

    Thanks for your quick & clear reply. I need to consider the required hard wired internet & hookups. I'll downlead the owners manual. Are you satisficed with the bass? Is there an option to hook up powered subwoofers? (I own REL S/812's)

    I'm considering simplifying my office system after many decades of following a more 'traditional' route. I am considering active speakers.
