Entry-level hardware needed and a couple of other things which can be improved

[Geoff_Coupe]

Things may have changed, but back in 2015, Roon Labs were not charging royalties on the use of RAAT…

RAAT [was Roon Speakers] - What , When, How and for Whom?

Can manufacturers have access to become a roon Speakers device endpoint? Yes And if so, where do they get the code, API, protocol? From us, once it’s ready What are the advantages compared to other protocols like AirPlay, Meridian MQA, RTSP, DLNA,UPNP? In short: It doesn’t compromise on user experience or compatibility (unlike DLNA/UPNP) It doesn’t compromise on sound quality (unlike AirPlay) It doesn’t compromise on reliability (unlike RTSP) MQA is an oddball in that list–…

The Design Goals for RAAT makes for quite an interesting read, I think.
