Connecting ROON to Soulution Dac 560 via QNAP NAS

[Siropas_Rangphet]

Hi Folks

Please advise as to how I can integrate ROON into my network
Library. First off the interface, and ability to experience my music is
incredible.

OK. ROON server is installed on a QNAP TS-453A NAS Device.
The QNAP is completely up to date. QNAP NAS install (v1.01). I can see all my
albums and artwork. FAB!

One problem, I cannot stream from ROON to my Soulution 560
DAC via Ethernet. Ethernet is the best connection, and sounds better than all
of the other digital inputs. The Ethernet connection is on a separate switch,
so connection path is shortest. No QOS or port blocking is going on, as the
switch is a plain Netgear 1Gb.

Thinking that the issue may need the bridge software, I
installed this on a VM within the NAS, as it gives this functionality. I can
see the bridged PC via ROON remote, but no player or option to stream to a
player is available.

Is this not supported?

Will there be an option in future if not now?

Your Soulution is not RoonReady so won’t show up. Talk to them and see if they plan to support Roon and make it Roon Ready in the future. See this for a few more details.

Compatibility with Soulution 541

Hello Roon Team! I have a client who has a Solution 541 SACD-Player with a upgraded network interface card which handles the streaming. I wanted to find out if Roon can be just the interface and control UPNP devices. Currently, he is able to use a software such as Linn’s Kinsky or PlugPlayer to control and build his playlists. Assuming that I load Roon onto the Macbook Air, can he use the software to control this UPNP device? Thanks! Kevin

Meantime it should work via USB but it does seem that many prefer Ethernet.

Hi,

I had a quick look at the specifications for the Soulution 560 D/A-Converter … and I don’t believe it supports Roon’s RAAT network protocol.

Thus Roon will not be able to stream to it directly via the LAN … you would need to add a device running Roon Bridge such as the Sonora microRendu or similar … the 560 would then connect to that via USB.

You could ask if Soulution have any plans to support RAAT… that would be the most elegant solution.
