Now this really could start to shake up the industry.

Roon Ready: A Quick Update From Roon Labs

Hey everyone! It’s been a busy couple of months for us, as we sprint to the finish of a very exciting year. We’re working on a few more surprises for 2015 but for now, we wanted to update everyone on progress we’ve made on RoonSpeakers and our RoonReady streaming protocol, RAAT (Roon Advanced Audio Transport). After months of hard work, we have now delivered the RoonReady SDK to our first round of hardware partners, and we can barely contain ourselves at the news that some of them already have…

Part of my worry has been that Roons limited resources have been distracted by supporting discountinued products like squeezebox and limited enhancements such as iPhone remotes, which some have been very vocal about wanting. Good to see this critical leg of the program is now getting out there.

If a greater number of high end manufacturers than the few on the Roon home page take this up then Roon could become the game changer it deserves to be.
