Dutch & Dutch 8c: pre-Roon Ready thread

I think Martijn has said he regretted very much talking about Roon Ready so early. Now he is doing a similarly silly thing by allowing sale of Roon Ready 8C while the 2.0 firmware containing RR code is still in beta.

The only way out of this mess would be to release the 2.0 firmware before Roon sells it’s first 8C pair, but much of the damage is already done by agreeing to a deal like this!

I second everything you say. Early investors should get early benefits. Everyone of us like to see D&D grow. I’m proud that a Dutch brand makes the most awesome speakers, but marketing wise it’s not handy, to say the least…

Couldnt agree more
Clearly a company that is centered around technology and zero marketing experience or skillset.
Hopefully he learns from this. It hurts to step on your own d!(%

LOL, where have we heard this before?
Let me see … 2018? how about 2019 or maybe 2020? All are correct. I just think this time its actually gonna be real.

It’s weird that the 2 brands i value most in hifi are D&D and Hegel who both can’t deliver on Roon onto their streamers yet. I wonder if there is a shared problem or same critique they have looking at the implementation.

I do value their effort though, it’s not only bad feedback there is :black_heart:.

Yikes! Is Roon/D&D more than a business relation? That logo certainly indicates something :smiley:

No no its just photoshop… for the forthcoming marketing from D&D - its on their facebook page.

Oh good! I was shocked for a few minutes there…

Hi, does anyone tried to use REW with 8c before but cannot detect the speakers? I am using REW V5.20.4 and 8c firmware 1.4.65. Tried the method in Dutch REW matching guide but still can’t make it work and get the error of "cannot read property “map” of null.
REW error

Yes, its a bug, apparently they are working on it…
