You try and be patient with them, but they make it absolutely impossible.
They finally appear after a wall of silence, and essentially say "we're making an audio streamerboard that fits inside". Oh wow, total enlightenement, thats soooo useful thanks for sharing.
The reality is most likely they don't know more because they haven't got anything working yet, and/or they don't want to say publicly what its planned to do, because they know it's not what anyone wants and there will be a backlash.
I had allowed myself to dream that they might buy in a card that had Roon and be done with it. But that's been dashed now - it's proprietary, and it's April and it's only just appeared in prototype with no info about what it will support. To me that screams months or years from now of pain and delays just to get it working with firmware and the new OS let alone worry about what it supports.
In fact, I'm not relishing the idea of even having it installed.
All we can hope is that they bought in a new team of hires to do it. Maybe some ex <insert brand with rock solid streaming solutions > employees. But this is doubtful.
