Roon, Expert Pro, and a major issue with RAAT

[David A]

Guys, this is being over analyzed to the ridiculous. It’s a computer, they run of software written by humans, shit happens, a reset/reboot fixes it. Who cares about the exact path of failure? I‘m pretty certain the whole re-flash action was unnecessary, if it happens again, power cycle both units and move on...

You're right, it's a computer and using software written by humans. Shit does happen but a reset/reboot doesn't fix everything. Try telling that to someone who has big problems with the RAAT/gigabit connection bug who can reboot all they like and have the problem start up again when they start listening again, or to the families of those who were on the 737 Max planes which crashed.

Knowing the path of failure is important if you want to stop a recurring problem, and rebooting doesn't fix faulty software or hardware though it can solve some other problems which can occur. Asking questions when a problem occurs is a good idea, and learning whether the problem has affected others and whether there's a cure, a work around that avoids it, or whether it's a problem that has no remedy at present can potentially save you a lot of trouble over time.
