This mentality has proven very useful in audio, and I've managed to put together both a home theater and headphone rig that are of outstanding quality for a great price. I quit about three months later, and that company had to shut down completely and fire around 400 people just nine months later. Everyone in the room just turned and looked the other way at the presentation and kept moving, like I'd never said a word. I don't sit in review meetings and shout "that's fantastic! of course it'll work, because our company is perfect!" like many people do, just waiting for a pat on the back and a promotion. I was in a production meeting where people were arguing about data and I had all the data they could ever want, but it showed that we were losing product like crazy. I'm always the guy that refuses to be a yes man. Sometimes I worry that I am this guy, although I'm not socially weird and I live in my own house, hah.

This division of labor makes sense to me, and I think it lets specialized companies play to their strengths without bleeding themselves dry with too big a software development and support money pit. They should let someone else handle the user interface bits, so they can focus on the quality and reliability of their audio hardware and just whatever software it requires internally. They do a very good job of it, a good enough job that I think audio hardware vendors who develop and support their own individual soup-to-nuts music playing software systems and apps specific to their hardware are Very Silly People. The Roon people don't sell hardware, they develop music-library software meant to use other people's hardware. and day-to-day user interfaces for playing songs through a microRendu are developed and supported by other people - all the UPnP players, or HQPlayer, or most notably in my opinion Roon.
Sonore have chosen a niche with a more visible software component, but so far they seem focused enough that the magnitude of their software support requirements shouldn't overwhelm and kill their company either. I wouldn't want to see Schiit get bogged down with having to do more software design and support than they already have to do with developing their DAC and now preamp controllers, and handholding users who have issues using USB DACs. Schiit should not get into this business (and I'm confident they won't I expect them to continue to make DACs which can be fed via standard interfaces), but something like a microRendu (which I have several of, mostly driving Schiit DACs) is a fine example of an audio-optimized hardware/software gizmo a different company can choose to develop and support.
