Stream via UPnP Players which have neither Chromecast nor native access to Qobuz & Co. 20 released today adds Roon Ready support to the KANN ALPHA.

Roon will then expose your desktop's own audio outputs as well as the Airplay and DLNA (edit: I stand corrected, Roon doesn't support DLNA) on the A100.

I currently use a cambridge 851n to play on my main system The software is like $20

I concur that I hear perceptible differences also between Roon and JRiver when using a microrendu as an Endpoint / DLNA renderer (which should be inferior, based on spec) with all things the same.

the UPnP/DLNA framework, it is the job of the DLNA renderer to decode the content.

Roon Labs have gone out of their way to make sure Roon does not support industry standard UPnP/DLNA from the outset, often quoting pretty bogus reasons, eg: What's wrong with UPnP? Your best bet, if you really must try TIDAL's lossy MQA hi-res tracks, is to install Audirvana Plus instead of Roon, which does support UPnP/DLNA devices (free 30 day trial available):.

Audirvana has recently launched Audirvana Studio to replace its Version 3. In addition to Roon, the XL version supports DLNA, Airplay, and Spotify technology to stream audio. I think it would be useful to post a synthetic paper or blog post to highlight the major ROON and RAAT benefits VS UPNP / DLNA concurrent solutions. If you do use Roon, it is an excellent Roon Server, AND, an excellent Roon Endpoint too. Now where's Ravenna in all this, I doubt it would ever take off now, with Roon setting the pace, even for a proprietary protocol, maybe that's the secret, it works like Dante, with the plus of transmitting DSD.

Roon is not a music streaming service in its own right. HEOS I have a modestly high-end audio system, and my primary objective is maximum reproduction quality.

lms vs roon I apologize if this is a re-visit of prior discussions, but since I’m new to this aspect and technology changes quickly, please indulge me in my query.

Incidentally, you can get Roon to play to any standard UPnP/DLNA renderer, despite Roon's (strange) lack of official support for the UPnP streaming protocol, by using the UPnPBridge/squeeze2upnp Logitech Media Server plugin to act as the go between.At its core is Naim’s streaming platform, a gateway to streaming services (such as Qobuz, Tidal and Spotify), internet radio and DLNA playback.Dlna vs roon The new RoPieee XL does that too but at the same time makes the Pi an Airplay and DLNA renderer,
