Thanks, but I have no interest in Roon ARC.
I’ve had a QNAP at home for over 10 years, so have always been able to access local files remotely using their music player app QMusic. I tried it 7 or 8 years ago on holiday, never since. We just did a road trip to Italy and if we wanted to listen to something in the car it was podcasts on BBC Sounds.
Innuos updated their operating system last week to make Roon access easier, I’ve not used it as I use their Sense app.
I used to use Roon 1.8 on my Innuos, but I’ve not used 2.0. I don’t think I ever will. The issue was that I did need to index my music library as it sits on the Innuos.
The QNAP TS-473 is a superb machine. I’ve contacted a local QNAP engineer who is going to check my configuration and security. I use it for other important things besides Roon. I may move the local file storage to an SSD attached to the QNAP, because I’m looking at upgrading by Innuos Zen to Innuos Pulsar, which may improve sound quality, but the Pulsar does not have local storage.
I bought lifetime Roon purely for domestic audio distribution. I have 30 Roon Ready devices. The only music I listen to outside my house is live. There are increasingly more ways of doing multi-room, such as Alexa and now Innuos. Most of my units are Alexa enabled and have Amazon HD onboard. Innuos is now multi-room. That is all I am interested in.
