I guess most people posting on this particular thread are interested in Roon, or have already fallen in love with it (I have). Now, Roon have been saying that us Dev owners should be pushing them to adopt Roon, and I could not agree more. Apparently, if you read the Roon forum, Devialet have not spoken again with Roon, since the initial contact was made. That's not a good sign.
If Devialet were to give us RoonSpeaker protocol, we would have a much better solution than anything they can hope to provide via Dialogue / Spark. We would not need AIR, as the Roon protocol takes over duties to stream direct to the Dev.
You will need a Roon core, and like hk6230 I have invested in a NUC and installed this in a nice Tranquil fanless case. So I am set to go with a headless Roon core when it is released. This will become my music server and sit with the other IT equipment (router, switch, NAS etc). I would prefer my Dev 200 to sit alone in my listening room, and just be streamed to from the Roon core via network using the soon to be released Roon remote app working on an iPad as the control point.
I'm all for raising our voices and letting Devialet know that Roon is very desirable, I just cannot see Spark even getting close to matching it for controlling one's music. Hope a few of you feel the same, and voice likewise wishes.
