USB input

[AllenB]

I think mine tallies with Rufus'.

Roon is able to re-establish connection after any state though, and just carries on playing.  Is this an NAA thing (recognise from the Ron forum)?

Yes, God bless 'em, Roon sends out commands to re-establish any USB connection, so to the user who has switched input on the Devialet, you will find that the USB input just works.

Same cannot be said for these Linux based slim devices. I thought at first it was just lazy coding of the HQP NAA, but it is seeming to point to the USB bus on the slim device, when that connection is lost, it's lost, you either have to reboot the device or restart the NAA service, or both. Something to do with the network to USB interface within the device.

I can understand if the Dev is switched off, or in deep sleep, and the USB connection goes dead. But when the Dev USB comes alive again, it initiates a new handshake to say here I am, but the NAA on the slim device has lost the connection and does not know (or want to know) how to answer. Or so it would appear. I have posted on various forums, asked the people behind HQP and Sonore through those forums and the answers so far are why it happens, but not any inkling of the situation changing.

Am I being finicky here, is it (un)acceptable to go through a whole boot or reboot sequence just to get USB on the Dev, coming out of sleep or switched input, to work with these slim devices?
