Popular Post firedog Posted September 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2020 Good review. Seems like if you are a Roon user it's a great component. I actually don't understand why most audio HW companies insist on writing their own UI. Few succeed. And if they do, it's often limited to use only with their own components. Since it's running a Pi, there are multiple modern, mature, open source, superior OSes available. Or very good commercial ones like Volumio that can be relatively cheaply added. These could be setup by Bryston so the 3.14 could be a Roon Bridge, Squeezebox streamer, HQP NAA, UPnP render, MPLA renderer, Audirvana player, Airplay endpoint, etc., etc. The end user could then simply pick which interface he wants to use and connect seamlessly. This solution would be vastly superiior to the user experience you described.
