Technologies like those that replace USB and/or uPnP/DLNA/OH solutions with ethernet based solutions like Ravenna/AES67 (or similar). See http://nadac.merging.com/nadac for an example. We've just seen it happen with DSD! Hi Antoine can you explain these innovations and what they mean to our hobby? Cheers Guillaume RE: New Aurender models; X100 vs N100 vs N10 vs S10 ? - completeluxury - 28-Jul-2015 well honestly it depends who you ask. alex of uptone audio believes that the ravenna standard (its a method of sharing audio over a network like dlna/upnp but different, its an old standard used in broadcasting its just now being implemented in hifi) wont be worth it and there will be no benefit over other standards but then theres some people on the other side of the fence as well.

We've just seen it happen with DSD! Hi Guillaume, the things I mentioned are of course just examples that may make it/or not. The main point I was trying to make is that computer audio is moving at such an incredible fast pace that relatively big investments in non- or limited upgradable gear may prove to become disappointing. With all these advances made over the past several years also in DAC's even my own Devialet today already feels a bit 'antiquated' -to me-. NB. About Ravenna, there's a some explanation about the technologies and their uses in our hobby here: http://nadac.merging.com/networking and here: http://www.merging.com/products/pyramix/ravenna IMO it would be a great replacement technology for the proprietary, badly performing Devialet AIR BTW. RE: Ravenna: a network audio distribution technology - GuillaumeB - 28-Jul-2015 Wow some really interesting stuff in here: http://www.merging.com/uploads/assets/News/articles/RAVENNA%20Part%201%20-%20AudioXpress.pdf Could this provide the fix that AIR so badly needs??!
