Sonore Streamers

[Hifi_swlon]

Some of you have expressed concern over support of the Devialet USB devices in combination with the Sonore Sonicorbiter SE and the Sonore microRendu. There are some documented issues with the Devialet USB devices not working properly when; 1. The device is turned on after the Sonicorbiter SE and the microRendu are already on. 2. When the standby mode is used with the Sonicorbiter SE and the microRendu. 

We have done a lot of research on the Devialet USB devices and these issues appear to be related to the manufacturer's USB implementation. This opinion is based on our having interfaced with thousands of USB devices and from having coordinated the issue with our software partners. Some of you may see this as finger pointing, but this is not our intent. To date, we have submitted the issue to Roon and cooperated with them in implementing a backend fix. The Roon backend fix is reported by some as working and others as not working. We are also working on an update to the SqueeseLite that should also help with that output mode. This fix is being tested this weekend via remote log into a machine half way around the word. However, it should be noted that these backend fixes are only a short term solution. Long term Devialet should work with Linux developers to improve support of their devices.

While these issues are being resolved we recommend that you turn on the Devialet USB device before you power on the Sonicorbiter SE and the microRendu. Additionally, the standby feature of the Devialet USB device should not be used in combination with the Sonicorbiter SE and the microRendu when the units are left on all the time.

Just to add to Jesus' post (and nice to see him contributing here), I have been trying to reproduce my issue with the microRendu in RoonReady mode and Devialet standby/poweroff this past week for Sonore and Roon support, and I have been unable. Whereas it happened repeatably the week before, it seems to recover fine on all my tests this week which is very perplexing.  I have some ideas about what I was doing with Roon when it occurred and am trying to reproduce it.

For now I must apologise, and say that although it happened, it may have been isolated incidents, or more specific to Roon rather than the uRendu.  I'll report back once I've got anything new to say, but for now all I can say is in my setup the Devialet standby in RoonReady mode of the uRendu has been working as expected.
