Regarding the method of directly playing streaming accounts using the built-in renderer V2.0 card of the MSB dac without the need for Roon software

You can use the third-party software “Jplay” (IOS). In the settings of the MSB renderer V2.0 card of the software, check the proxy selection box with a √ to directly play streaming accounts such as Tidal.

This method has not been mentioned in any official opinion or usage instructions from MSB.

Jplay is a great option to use with MSB products, there is a lengthy thread going on the forum here. We also just added Qobuz Connect support as well that supports direct play to the network renderer:
