Dirac and Roon Ready

[David_Gibbs]

Can’t help but notice we still don’t seem to have any Roon Ready devices running Dirac Live. But we do have NAD M10, miniDSP SHD running Dirac and not Roon Ready – and certainly a sense of frustration from the vendors. Roon users caught in another turf war?

Oh - and the COO marshalling which threads they want this discussion in! A bit heavy handed IMHO.

[Note: For transparency - this topic was cut from another thread about the Roon Ready cutting support for non-certifiable devices; that was done by Roon Support. So I didn’t start it here. I have also changed the name from ‘Dirac vs Roon Ready’ to ‘Dirac and Roon Ready’. The Roon guys labelled it ‘vs’ - I do hope that wasn’t a freudian slip, but only time will tell]

Hello @David_Gibbs,

No turf wars here, promise. In fact, there will be multiple certified Roon Ready devices implementing Dirac Live in the near future.

Thanks John. I guess the proof is going to be in the pudding here - at present they do seem to be a bit of a standout exception with documented paths of ‘promises / hints / assertions’ in forums that haven’t eventuated, and now risk the devices.
So I look forward to some announcements / formal confirmation / proof points here and/or on vendor sites that this is happening.
