As an owner of an “older” device, a Salkstream III purchased in June 2016 (hard drive was replaced in Nov 2020 with current OS at the time, Linux Arch 5.8.5), this concerns me. Fortunately, I wasn’t negatively impacted by the current Roon update, but the above statement from Roon has me concerned about current security of my Salkstream and future compatibility with Roon.
Updating the Salkstream’s OS is way beyond my limited computer skills, and with Salk’s recent retirement, I don’t know how much longer Salk will be able to offer support. I did ask and Jim Salk stated he would continue to offer support (but for how long?).
Am I concerned about nothing at this point?
