Consider that if you run a PC 'bit perfect using WASAPI' (or the Mac equivalent), this is effectively bypassing any processing in the PC, so what difference does it make?
Maybe Linux compatibility? Maybe the new streamer board runs Linux and the projects are linked? (although I'm guessing this is a Roon initiative only)
I asume Roon is looking at their ROCK project and wants us with Devialets to be able to use ROCK and Devialet directly without the need for PC or MAC to run AIR.
My concern with this is what happens if Devialet changes something in the AIR protocoll on the amps and in the software....does the Roon solution stop working and we have to wait for them to come out with a new patch to fix it......
This seems really intresting but also a bit risky....... we that run HQ Player cant benefit from this so not much to do about that more than give the Roon/Devialet solution a try
