Hi guys,
I just got my Devialet Expert 200 and recently joined the forum. Last night I have tried it with Roon AIR and get good result.
The system currently includes:
Devialet Expert 200
QNAP NAS (only store music)
SonicTransporter i5 (running Roon Server/Core)
Both Devialet and SonicTransporter connected to the same router via ethernet cable.
At the moment I can stream music via Roon flawlessly, no dropouts etc. However I cannot stream Spotify, Airplay because this is not a “Pro” version.
So I found a solution with the AppleTV (old generation) which has Optical audio, I tried to connect it with the Devialet and it works as well. Basically I can now stream Airplay and Spotify from my phone to the Devialet.
My problem is I want to separate my music, for example Roon & NAS will store all high-res, DSD files, I will only use Roon for critical listening. Apart from that I store pop music, mp3… to my phone, and I also stream music from Spotify.
I’m thinking of adding a Network bridge player, like a Auralic Aries. This way the Auralic takes responsibility of all streaming, also acting as Roon ready player, and stream Spotify and Airplay from my phone. This way I won’t have to change the input back and forth while playing Roon and Spotify.
I want to ask a few questions:
Thank you for reading.

I want to ask a few questions:
- Compare to the AppleTV, is Auralic Aries the better option?
- Any of you have the same setup (Devialet + Auralic Aries)? How do you connect them? Via USB or AES ?
- Any of you have same situation (different source of music) and how do you solve it neatly with your Devialet?
Thank you for reading.
