ROON server w Devialet Air...

[petrik]

Sorry to be blunt but IMO and in general HiFi dealers are among the least informed and/or don't understand the technicalities.

With e.g. something like Spotify Connect or Apple's Airplay (which will probably become part of the OS/streamer board like it is now for Phantom) one could work without a computer but not with Roon. One would still need a central computer/NAS running Roon Server. NO way this will run inside the Expert. The 'best' we could get is Devialet becoming Roon Ready but everything indicates we're (short term) "only" getting AIR support integrated into Roon.

I have to agree on your point regarding the dealers  At least all dealers that I have met here know very little about these technical things and especially on computer audio. For example I have shown to one Devialet dealer how to update firmware on Devialet and how to configure/enable SAM since they had no idea how to do those 


Last week I explained to one dealer what is SAM. He was thinking that it is just a bass boost...
