I am looking to upgrade from my Zen Mini Mark3+LPSU with its 1 TB SSD for ~500 CDs to a Stream3. I sometimes use the Mini as a Roon Core in addition to listening to the CDs I've ripped to its SSD.

What is the better option:

#1 - Stream3 with a SSD for use as a Roon Core and copy the CDs I ripped to the Mini, or

#2 - Stream3 with no SSD but linked to the Mini for continuing use with its CDs and Roon Core?

#1 is a bit more expensive but simpler than #2.

What say the Innuos savants about the best option?
