Roon supports Devialet AIR

[Hifi_swlon]

I was quite excited to get the email from Devialet announcing Roon integration. Many of you guys seemed very keen on it so I was interested to give it a try. However I cannot get it to work properly. I've found if I set the buffer size to 3000ms then it's ok-ish. Anything less than that and i get crackles followed by silence eventually (ranging from 10 seconds to a few minutes). Tried posting this on the Roon Community site but I've not found the famously helpful community there very helpful. After the usual audiophile hysteria about using powerline plugs (they work fine and in any case I've tested with a direct Ethernet cable and no difference) I've had absolute silence on my issues. Spent a couple of days mucking around with settings in Roon and my PC to try and get it to work and then I suddenly remembered why I bought a NAS - so I could get the PC completely out of my replay chain and not have to spend any more days buggering around with PC software settings.

Sure Roon has a nice interface and great music curation but when I get that valuable and infrequent spare hour to sit and listen to some music I don't want to spend it mucking about with a PC; I want to spend it actually listening to some music. So back to my Linn Majik DS playing music from my NAS (via powerline plugs) and connected to the Devialet digital input. Rock solid and reliable, and at the end of the day that matters more than fancy interfaces.

Roon deleted from my PC.

Sorry to hear that also - at least a few of us frequent both forums so I'm surprised you've had little help. Of you're still interested perhaps post a link to the Roon topic here? Netwirking stuff can be frustrating and time consuming to fix, but it can be rewarding too - I'm sure there are plenty of willing helpers.

Of course if it served the purpose of confirming that you like what you've already got, then that's also great!
