- it is replacing the Wifi and Duet boards: will it still be AIR compatible or will it completely replace AIR ? In this case the new Roon/AIR integration would not work anymore.
- will it support Roon initally ? If not anyone who buys a new Roon license now cannot use it anymore (maybe via dlna ? )
- will it be possible to return to the Duet board in case the SQ is not as good as before (e.g. optimized Audio PC via AES)
Before I send my unit for update I want to have answers to these questions!
Q1 wifi and duet - already confirmed replacing both boards. See their website for the pic and size.
Q2 AIR - very unlikely to stop since many people use the AIR virtual soundcard thingy
Q3 Roon - it already does via their AIR. RoonReady hinted at.
Q4 revert back - this is very much unknown. Some have suggested sending it back without the old cards. But will the motherboard changes (and presumably firmware update) render them useless?
