Describe the issue

New Astell& Kern CA1000 doesnt show up as roon ready

Describe your network setup

Tp link wifi repeater, sonic transporter 5 server. Neither Samsung zflip6 smartphone nor samsung galaxy tab a10 findthe CA1000 ss a roon ready device. Both other endpoints (ifi neo tream and sonore ultrarendu) are visible and work fine.

Did you enable it in Roon Settings > Audio?

Ensure your on latest firmware, reboot device. I found A&K kit WiFi a bit flakey with discovery and stability with Roon and gave up and got a FiiO which worked straight out of the box and has never dropped off or given me any issues.

Hey @Joshua_Walfish,

Good to see you on the community again!

Both @CrystalGipsy and @Suedkiez have suggested proper next steps - with that, how is the CA1000 connected to your Roon Server? Can you set up a direct hardwire connection and see if your issues persist?

Ues, latest formware had already been applied, but no joy.

Thank you!

Cant be enabled if roon doesnt see it.

If the server doesn’t see it, yes. But based on the original description it was possible that it just hadn’t been enabled. It was just a question to rule out a very common possibility.

Thank you.

Well, I tried various things, and no, it cannot be hardwired to the network, it is portable and supports only wifi or Bluetooth. BUT:

Just for rhe heck of it, I did a factory reset and after re-enabling wifi and roon ready it showed up in roon instantly. It’s now playing well.

Many thanks all for your help and advice.

Happy holidays!
