Roonready device with AES output?

[Dr Tone]

$2495 US.  It actually looks quite promising in terms of specs etc.  To me, it looks like its planned to be Roonready, but somehow isn't yet.  It's a bit of a mine field this Roonready business.  I'm kind of tempted to ignore Roon and come back in a years time, when things should be a lot clearer with some decent products around.

I'm pretty sure something changed in 1.2 and or the Roon qualification requirements got a little more strict.  I know Bryston pulled theirs back and are now saying months to deliver the production firmware.
