Now that would be somethin... I hope 2018 is the year Ravenna finally takes off in the consumer sphere. The same thing I hoped for in 2017 :-)

 

Dusty Springfield has a song about hope...

Or Dante to support 6ch/2ch DSD, but steering off topic.

Linkplay - another protocol and well behind Roon in development. Don't you UK people talk to one another?

Is there anyway to have the iFi act as a Roon endpoint with its native ethernet or wifi? Any chance on it becoming RoonReady in the future?

I have a ticket with ifi asking the same question finalised October 28.

At this moment the iDSD Pro doesn't support Roon network.

 

Theres a difference between discovering and enabling devices detected by Roon.

So what do you mean more specifically? Does that mean Roon can in fact play to the iFi just with reduced capability? Perhaps using upnp or LMS protocol? Have you done it successfully?

It means that certification to be Roon Ready is derived from Roon and not the manufacturer of the device. That’s the appendage from the ticket, summarised.

 

I don’t own an iDSD, was curious to see the progress of Roon compliance. There’s none, so it’s a no sale, simple decision.
