Denon S670H not showing a Roon Ready option

[Ian_May]

I have ttried updating the Denon Firmware, but it says it’s the latest. I have no ‘Roon Ready’ option in the denon setup menu. I can only use the Denon with roon via AirPlay. What to do?

[mjw (Here I am with a brain the size of a planet and they ask me to pick up a piece of paper. Call that job satisfaction? I don't.)]

Is Roon Ready enabled in the receiver’s settings?

[Ian_May]

That’s the problem. Denon says that the S670H is Roon Ready. However there is NO Roon Ready option in the settings Audio menu, only WiFI/Bluetooth and AirPlay. Firmware says it’s latest version installed. Here is where I am stuck!

Then you probably need to contact your dealer or Denon directly.

I think I saw this same problem updating my AVR-X6800H. I unplugged and plugged back in and it appeared.

I’ll give that a try later today when I get home.

[Ian_May]

Nope. It didn’t make any difference unfortunately.

Hello @Ian_May ,

I’ve moved your post over to the Support section for better tracking of this issue.

I’ve activated diagnostics for your account, and I am only seeing a Denon AVR-S760 registered to it, the 760 is not a Roon Ready zone, it is only Roon Tested (via Airplay).

Can you please provide a screenshot/picture showing the model of this device on your end? Can you clarify - do you have both the S760 and an S670?

[Ian_May]

OK. My mistake. I have a 760, but I downloaded the wrong manual, and led myself up the garden path. I think, perhaps, Roon isn’t for me right now, until I upgrade my Denon at least, as I can play lossless via Tidal/Qobuz Connect, and I can play my local FLAC files using Elmedia Player via DLNA. Airplay is, of course, lossy.

Hello @Ian_May .

We’re sorry to see this confusion.

But roon is always welcome once you have a compatible device!

Have a nice day!

Regards.

I have an LG OLED TV. When I connect Roon to that, although it doesn’t say Roon Ready the output path says it’s lossless. That, of course, plays through my Denon AVR. I also have a Topping DX1 headphone DAC which, although again, not listed as Roon Ready, reports a losseless path when I use it with headphones.

“Roon Ready” or “Roon Tested” are not pre-requisites for a device being able to handle lossless bitstreams…

[Ian_May]

Hello Geoff, Thank you for your reply. In that case, I will continue to use Roon, as other than the Denon issue I was having, I am very happy with all that Roon offers.
