serendipitydawg Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Is it rash to assume that a review is in-the-works ? " The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance--it is the illusion of knowledge." Daniel.J.Boorstin Link to comment

4est Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Will these act as end points to the likes of Roon, Audirvana or HQPlayer? Forrest: Win10 i9 9900KS/GTX1060 HQPlayer4>Win10 NAA DSD>Pavel's DSC2.6>Bent Audio TAP> Parasound JC1>"Naked" Quad ESL63/Tannoy PS350B subs<100Hz Link to comment
firedog Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Volumio running on a Raspberry PI lets you addin RoonBridge; this isn't a Pi. Acc'd to the Roon Community it is possible on Tinkerboard HW: https://community.roonlabs.com/t/roon-bridge-on-an-asus-tinkerboard/63815/15 You would think with all the effort they've put in to making this an "audiophile" device, they'd add a Roon Bridge plugin, so a "click" installs it.

I make zero money on the sale of new items. The sale of used items (our 1% commission) benefits AS by paying for writers, which benefits the readers including you. If you see this as a problem, that’s ok. I see it as less of a problem than manufacturers just writing us checks directly for advertising. No worries though. crenca 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

Hello and thanks for your comment concerning Roon. For the Primo we have decided since the beginning to go the Official Roon Ready way which is a better overall user experience. regards The Computer Audiophile 1 Link to comment

Does that mean it hasn’t been certified yet and will be in an update?
