Highest Possible Sound Quality from Roon

[hk6230]

I just did some careful listening comparing and Ethernet connected Raspberry Pi Roon Bridge connected via un optimised USB to D200 versus the same 24/96 track ( Paul Simon "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" ) via AIR from iTunes and the AIR sounded SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER. Since in every other way Roon is the music serving solution I want to use, It seems I

must optimise the Raspberry <-->  USB <---> D200 connection,
Or
Hope that Devialet add Roon Bridge R point functionality to D200
Or
Find another RAAT endpoint that outputs AES or a better input.

By the way AIR has always worked reasonably  well for me ( one reboot needed per week of listening)

Do you have a spare notebook or old PC running Win 8.1 around your house? If yes, removed all unnecessary apps/programs including anti-virus/Trojan, etc. Install a free Fidelizer 7.1, AIR 2.1.3 and RoonBridge 1.0 Build 19. Connect it to a hub in your house, can be anyway, as long as in the same network. Then you can just setup your Roon to use the RoonBridge/Devialet AIR as your audio output to your Le200.

If you need detail steps, please let me know. Cheers.
