I just discovered the AIR/ROON combo a few days ago. Devialet did not send me any 3 months trial.
In the past I tried Roon and thought it was a very convenient way to scroll your musical library. But keeping the Mac ON was not the right choice. So I use a Chromecast which provides a great stream for 39 euros. Only issue is the non gapless.
I have read that Roon server requires a very expensive Qnap Nas. So the Mac being switched on would be still an issue with ROON/AIR and Roon is 500$.
I do not understand how Roon+Air can be so musical ? or at least more musical than AIR 3 ?
Second question is why do not use a RASPBERRY Pi 3 + ALLO DIGIONE which costs about 150 euros only ? any test made on the result ?
