Sonore Streamers

[mdconnelly]

Steve - I did respond to your post on this over on CA.  I honestly have not experienced this and I know I've started Roon playing only then realizing I forgot to wake up the Dev and set it to USB source.   Is USB your default on the Dev?   Mine is not.  I simply had to stop and start Roon playing after getting Roon to wake up and set to USB source - it would then play fine.

Does the problem ever occur if the Dev is awakened before starting Roon or only when the Dev is asleep with Roon starts playing?    I think any solution that requires rebooting the uRendu each time is a bad one and having to buy yet another piece of hardware seems like a pricey bandaide.   

Out of town until next week so I can't dig deeper until then.

Haha, sorry yes lost track a bit of users and forums there - after the subsequent posts I concluded it was only an issue for modes other than RoonReady, so I forgot about that CA post after that...

USB is my startup default.  I need to experiment more to get to the bottom of it and cover the scenarios above, will try and do that over the coming days.  I'm really busy right now so I'd honestly hoped that I would be putting the rendu in place and could finally forget about the whole 'streaming to the deviate' issue for at least the next six months. Urgh.

I bought a Marshall speaker for the bedroom yesterday to use with Roon and a Raspberry Pi.  OK, its not hifi sounding, but it all works well and I have to say I seriously thought to myself 'I might just get another Pi and another one of these for the lounge, and forget about the main hifi altogether'....

Hmmm,  I wonder if your Devialet initially came out of sleep mode with a different default source, it the problem you're having would go away.  Just a shot in the dark.  I also use my Devialet in my HT setup for the front 2 speakers, so my default on startup is set for digital in bypass mode from my HT receiver.

I've been thinking about playing with an RPi but since I was a long-time squeezebox user, I've got an abundance of them that work great with Roon and all have cheap DACs & wifi built in.  Not good for the main rig, but fine for kitchen, bedroom, porch, etc...

While I love the sound I get from my Devialet and remain very impressed with the Sonore uRendu, I have become totally enamored with and impressed by Roon.  Now that's how a company should be run.  Well worth the lifetime license investment.
