Do I need to install roon bridge

Hi, brand newbie here - I’m about to start a trial of a Neucleus + in the next couple of days. I’m currently running a raspberry pi streamer DAC under Volumio (Allo Boss DAC) streaming on Ethernet from my nas. Do I need to install Roon Bridge as well or is Volumio sufficient?

Hi John,

This post may help. It is adapted to the USBridge but will be similar for a Boss.

Thanks Andrew. I’ve never done anything that technical so I think I will go with a RoPieee install - it looks to be within my capabilities.

If you’re still curious, there’s simpler instructions in this post for an RPi - just 5 lines to copy/paste - RoonBridge on Volumio Raspberry Pi Image? .

Edit: Actually, sorry, I didn’t read @andybob’s link carefully enough…it’s basically the same with more explanation.

Ropieee just works. I’ve had it running on a DigiOne for about 8 months entirely trouble free.

The Ropiee Beginners Guide is an excellent resource.
