Roon supports Devialet AIR

[Axel]

I just updated to Roon 1.4 (294) and notice an unpleasant bug that has been mentioned here. Whenever changing from an album playing to another album with different resolution, my Devialet Pro stops playing.

Changing from an album to another with the same resolution is fine.

I observe this problem for the first time in Roon versions.

It seems that something makes the Devialet disconnect and I need to switch through inputs on the amp to make it stream again.

Hi Mohmm,
I had this exact problem with my NAS Roon Server playing to my D220 when I was using the Devialet AIR driver on my Mac, along with the Devialet AIR device in Roon.  (see pic 1)


When I switched to using the Networked Devialet device in Roon (and I believe Roon's Air implementation), this problem disappeared completely for me.  (see pic 2)


The other benefit for me under this option is that I don't have to mess with the Devialet Air driver in the usual way.  The only negative I have found so far is that I sometimes have the issue of playing just stopping at the end of a track.  For example, when I shuffle an artist, Roon plays a given track perfectly, but then just stops at the end, requiring me to hit ff.  I have not fully diagnosed or solved this, and it does not happen when playing an album- just during broader playback...not sure what's going on.  

Hope this helps

The problem seems to occur when playing files of a different bit rate. Going from say, 192/24 to 44.1/16 the playback will stop and have to be advanced manually. Hopefully this will be addressed in future firmware updates.
