Thanks Jim and Saturn,
It worked like a charm. Not to open one more thread on a similar ask... I guess this worked because the streamer has a connection to the AVR with HDMI. If I want to stream Roon to another AVR in a different room, do I need to have the Roon bridge like a rasberry pi with ropiee if I want to avoid airplay? I am currently able to stream to the other room with airplay fine though.
