After all, there are likely a bunch of Expert owners that don't use Roon but do use AIR. However, if/when Devialet Expert Pros become Roon Ready (i.e. integrate RAAT) then all us annoying Roon users will happily shut-up about AIR. My guess is that is what Steve means in his "Fingers crossed..." sig.
Honestly I have doubts, that ROON would have so many Devialet customers, if AIR would work. I am using ROON, but the information benefit is not decisive for me. I would be satisfied with AIR, if it would be free of crackles etc.
I would be happy, if Devialet would get ROON RAAT ready, but just because I get up hope that AIR will ever work flawlessly.
So I can understand that customers who do not want to use ROON do not understand why so many ROON users are asking here for it.
If I knew that AIR works, integrating other streaming services in a good App and other sound enhancements would be more important for me.
