I have been back to using my gen 1 of the Xact S1 player lately, and it has been bettered through updates, pretty great. a couple of small quirks, but the only thing that keeps this from being a 'preference' over Roon, is that you cannot pop open the Jcat app on a different device and edit the queue, or see what's playing. it's a single control point situation. and if you close that control point, it stops playing. At least Roon will play its radio selections forever. again, small point, but it does have an effect on daily usage. nonetheless, I can't help but use it, it DOES sound better than my Oladra, at least in Roon mode, Squeeze is pretty much a toss up...
