![]() ![]() For example, Roon does not support DNLA, but does support RAAT (Roon's protocol), AirPlay, Squeezebox, and Chromecast. ![]() Using Roon, I had to make some comprises. The DAC is plugged into a NAD M12 preamplifier using RCA cables. The Zenith music server is plugged into a Mytek DAC using a USB cable. The sonicTransporter and Zenith are plugged into the switch. My Roon setup is Ethernet from a wall jack to a 5-port switch. Hence I purchased a sonicTransporter with DSP (with no storage) just to run Roon Core. Roon has a much better interface and much better SQ however, to take full advantage of Roon's DSP capabilities, you need a fairly powerful device to run Roon Core. If you have a little "techie" in you, LMS is a good option and it has a proven track record of flexibility and reliability. LMS is free, still well supported, and using plugins supports a wide range of clients (e.g., Squeezebox/Squeezelight, DNLA, AirPlay, Chromecast). I used this setup to synchronize music to wired and wireless speakers, both active and passive, all over my 3-story house. Using LMS and Raspberry PIs, AirPlay speakers, and Squeezebox Duets, I created a whole house stereo system that worked very well for years.
