Yes the micro-Rendu is worth looking at. Very good sound and can be plugged straight into the USB receptacle on the DAC. It actually costed less than my USB cable which is now surplus to requirements. It came originally with a low-cost nine volt power supply which ran it very hot. Best to use it with a seven volt power supply.
I am also running Roon with it, which has a great user interface. I did not use a NAS as the server with Roon core, just a simple retd laptop with a SSD hooked up to the USB port. Remote-control is via an iPhone, tablet or another PC. I only play ripped CDs and high resolution files nowadays. This front end is easily my most satisfying setup.
