I'm sure this has been asked before, but what is the latest on this.
I have a Phantom Gold and quite shocked to discover a) it is limited to CD quality/Airplay quality, and b) I can't group it with any of my other rooms/systems in Roon because it's not 'Roon RAAT ready'.
I've seen posts from years ago saying this was just around the corner, and coming soon etc., but as far as I can tell, nothing has happened.
Can someone confirm the current position please?
Thanks,
Mark

Hey Mark,
Airplay is not that bad, it's CD quality in the end, sounds really good with my two Golds. If your other Roon zones support it you could switch those over to Airplay as well until RAAT is implemented on the Phantoms.
That being said, chatter is Airplay 2 is next, which is understandable given the size of the installed user base. Roon RAAT should come after that. I don't have any insight into Devialet development but my guess would be Airplay 2 early next year with RAAT coming in Summer. The new OS architecture should make it easier to implement new protocols so I won't rule out earlier releases.
All the best

About Phantom RAAT....
Quote:Hey… looks like the Phantom finally got the RAAT certification and will become Roon Ready with DOS 2.12 !!
The update is not available yet, but devialet pushed an update on their website a few days ago, that was since removed… but it was cached by google
Just google “devialet DOS 2.12 raat certified”
user denix on the Roon Forums
It’s coming. Apparently soon!!
