One nice thing about Roon.....

...that you already alluded to, is that you can have as many end-points as you like, and they don't have to be dedicated 'streamers'. I use the microRendu dedicated streamer but when I first started playing with Roon I tried other end-points.

Roon on my main Mac Mini (left) streaming to an older Mac Mini set up as an 'end-point' that has Roon bridge software on it.

In the test setup above, I would simply swap the DAC USB cable between the main Mac Mini or the 'end-point' Mac Mini depending on which 'zone' I had selected in Roon. Many dedicated streamers that are "Roon Ready" (like the microRendu) have the bridge software pre-loaded.
