Just found out this morning that Roon now fully supports Devialet WITHOUT using the Devialet Air.
They were quite clear that this is very much unlike Devialet Air which is basically a sound card driver.
Similar to their Squeezebox platform support they tap directly into the Devialet and will gain full control including the volume control. And full DSD/DoP support of course.
This is unbelievably good news. Seeing how elegant their support for the Squeezebox was, I have been waiting for that integration with the Devialet for a long time, with the assumption that it would only be possible with the Streamer board.
Now that this is available for the existing platform, I am not sure what the streamer board would add. The plot thickens.
** This also confirms what every person in the know I have met has hinted Roon support, but somehow cannot disclose. No idea why Devialet prefers to annoy their own customers for months by keeping them in the dark, leaving them speculating rather than being upfront, even carelessly hinting something is in the works is better than stone walling.
