This just got released. I’ve looked at all of Devialet’s material and on the Roon Partner program site and don’t see anything indicating that it is.
Does anyone have any info on this?
Thank you @Yves_ADAM. I didn’t know if it was simply an omission, or that it truly meant “it is not Roon Ready”.
I suppose I could always use it with ARC.
Thanks again,
Scott
The Mania is not currently Roon ready but Devialet told me that if enough people ask for it, they’ll add Roon Ready features to the Mania. Pretty important, too. As of today’s update my Tidal account no longer recognizes the Mania over Airplay. Roon, however, does.
This seems to go against everything Devialet told their global dealer network, not third-hand information. So I would work on the premise that AirPlay will be as good as it will get with the Mania.
i would be interested in the Mania for the use in the garden but only if it fits into my Devialet/Roon system. it makes no sense to stream audio using another platform/subscription.

Just checked out Devialet web page and under mania it says Roon tested???
Another one year later Mania is still not Roon Ready? If yes, this is truly a pity. All our Devialet products have amazing sound. All integrate easily into Roon but for Mania which can only connect via Airplay.

I love my Devialet Mania (the only product of theirs that I have) but it’s relegated to the bedroom where I bring it into the bath every morning when I shower because of the AirPlay situation. Fantastic portable speaker though.
For what I’d want to do, streaming via Airplay using ARC would probably work fine. Is that how you’re doing it @Victoria_Carlin ?
Due to the non high-res / AirPlay limitations, I mainly use it to play Spotify from my iPhone.
I just had this reply from Devialet: “Mania is not compatible for Roon but tested and in the future it will be via firmware change. However we can not give a date for this now.”
