Wow could be game changing. Dont believe, Lumin, Antipodes or even Aurender do this.
Stereophile in Jan prior to release mentioned the price 1100 includes a full lifetime ROON License.

Could be enough to pull the trigger.

IIRC Roon has set some restrictions for the version of Roon running on it but I can't rememeber exactly which or where I read it (probably on CA or the Roon forum).
I think you can upgrade it to a full Roon but not shure were I read that. And if I am not wrong the Roon acount is tied to the Elac machine and can not be used on anything else.
I have been intrested in this to, perhaps with a Mutec to get nice re-clocked AES signal to the Devialets.
