I would like to reform the way I listen to music today and migrate to a Roon platform. What's holding me back is that I don't understand if I can have endpoints that can implement FIR crossovers and output over a multi-channel DAC, the way I do it today with JRIVER convolving filters created with Audiolense. So let's say my bedroom system consist of a pair of 2-way active speakers, where each of the 4 drivers is driven by its own Class D amp, which amps in turn are fed by a multi-channel DAC (like the miniDSP U-DAC8) connected to a NUC running Win 10 and JRIVER for convolver duties. Today, this is a DLNA endpoint (through JRIVER) but it is my understanding that this doesn't work with Roon, where Roon needs to own the queue and the endpoints are stupid. So how could I achieve this with Roon? Convolve at Core/Server level rather than at endpoint? I know Roon can convolve but can it convolve multiple filters and streams for different rooms/endpoints in parallel? Can Roon even convolve a stereo signal into a multi-channel signal or is it limited to stereo output only (i.e. room correction but no crossovers)? Do I need to involve HQplayer somehow? Ideally, I would like to use RPi 3/DietPi/Roon Bridge endpoints but I doubt they would have the CPU power to convolve say six channels of 131k tap FIR filters. Even if the Roon Server could convolve, is RPi 3/DietPi/Roon Bridge compatible with any multi-channel USB DACs? What about Signalyst's NAA instead of Roon Bridge, does that change anything? Or could I just install Roon Bridge on a Windows 10 NUC and use JRIVER WDM output to a multi-channel DAC? If that's the only way, I'll go with that, but it's just not a very elegant solution....

I have a raspberryPi 3+ with a DigiOne board installed. The boot image is DietPi with Allo GUI. It has been updated to the latest build v6.22.3. The DigiOne sound card has been selected. It has an IP address and can initiate the GUI via its IP through the web browser. I can also ssh into it using the IP address I can successfully ping it. Roon Bridge is installed and active. It's connected to the network via ethernet and to my DAC via S/PDIF. Despite all of this it doesn’t appear in Roon and I get no indication of any digital data passing through to my DAC. I’ve included the results of the “aplay — list devices” command which appears to show the DigiOne sound card enabled At this point I'm stumped and wondering if there’s something obvious that I’m missing. Perhaps there’s a hardware issue involved? Any thoughts are appreciated.
