No there is no mechanism for that a bit perfect stream to a networked player is just that . That's one of the main points with squeezeboxes and other networked players or "endpoints" roon has its own standard RAAT for manufacturers to use if they wish to design new hardware btw, the player becomes server agnostic . Sound quality or not is provided by the player the server serves and everyone is happy 😊 . I remember 15 years ago when one connected the *computer* and it was a ton settings ASIO or WASAPI drivers kernel streaming and whatnot that I don't have to bother with anymore .... And the new addition fake optimiser programs and special "better" software players for your PC . And you had to minor or those settings in you ever changing computer environment My server is in another room and it does not even have audio in its its OS or any hardware for it . The players are close to my listening zones . I lurked around the roon forum a bit , they do have something going on very nice , but I wait to test to at least > 1.2 I'm happy to beta test stuff , but thier product is only 1 year old ? And some parts needs work to get basic functionality . For example their play cue , just no . And the lack of other services than tidal . No Spotify no disco ! And no Tune in ? Or much of Internet radio at all . They have to get down to earth and use other services based on API rather then demand custom work by the service to get the perfect database integration , that's a nice admirable goal but it does not survive reality . I will absolutely try it at one point ,they are about one the only current contenders in this area . Sonos is little but dead end imho and Logitech killed their product ?
