I no longer unplug the TV at night to save the valves, but don't want to leave the iMac which I use as my Roon Core running 24/7.
I agree with you about the smugness (and that is being polite - bxxx sxxx - would be a more accurate description of some of them). I must admit I now simply ignore them - I can't remember any of them from the last few days. I wouldn't want this minor annoyance to get in the way of my enjoyment of the music and the system

Point taken Chris, i'm glad you're happy and as I have the opportunity to try Roon at Devialet's expense, I'm hoping to make the most of the whole experience.
I noticed that importing my library produced fewer albums total than Audirvana+.I suspect that it may be that Roon reads ripped box sets as a single album with multiple discs and may reflect the way that I added them to the library.
Against that there were many albums which were fragmented into multiples during the initial import - just as well that the merge albums function in Roon works so well.
I'm sure that someone ( Guillaume or Antoine?) had offered some basic settings for Devialet and Roon, but I cannot for the life of me find them.
Currently using USB and optical - will try ethernet later - baby steps.

I can't for the life of me understand why people get so worked up about tiny little things!
Yuh.

You don't need an iPad (or similar IOS or Android device - you can run Roon from a mobile (cell) phone). You can run Roon directly from your PC. The iPad or similar, is extremely useful if your PC that has Roon loaded is located in another room.
iPad is pretty valuable for me, as my pc is two floors up in my study. NAS isn't powerful enough, and also in another room. To make it work I need to run a computer 24/7 and buy a new iPad as remote? Right? Laptop is not an option, as that travels with me to work and only has wifi.

Anyone know how to get the three months free trial?

You should get an email from Devialet. If you haven't yet, maybe contact them.

(You can also use your computer for other things while Roon is running - it might impact on sound quality) I have connected my Devialet via Ethernet - using a power line extender - it is much more reliable for me than wifi. Is it that you have got an older version of iPad that will not run the Roon App? You don't have to have a dedicated iPad as a remote - again you can use your iPad for other things while Roon is running - and that will have no impact on SQ. I often use my iPad for other things while listening to music - while using the Roon App to select the music and control the volume etc.(19-Jul-2017, 06:11)Will Wrote:(19-Jul-2017, 02:20)kerkhoffd Wrote: Thnx!

I contacted Devialet and a couple of days later, the lovely Océane emailed me a code.

Thanks for replying. Yes, my iPad seems to be one generaties too old to run the Roon remote app. This will not stop me trying Roon out, but my ancient computer stuff seems to be a hick-up with Roon, while they still perform very well with my current setup (Linn, Lumin app). Will find a way, but will wait for the holidays to arrive, so I can invest some time to get it working.
