Is there a way to link IDAGIO to Roon?

I have a full year subscription to IDAGIO, wondering if I can access it through Roon…

Inputs into Roon are currently limited to locally stored files, Internet Radio and the two supported streaming services Tidal and Qobuz.

The simple answer is NO.

I finished up using a Windows tablet then USB directly to my DAC , not ideal but worked. I haven’t tried the same link with my iPad but I expect that will work too (maybe Airplay)

I can also Airplay to my Cambridge Audio CXN , again not ideal.

I gave up !!. Out of interest I monitored new releases and general classical library content (incredibly unscientific review) and I found very little in Idagio that I couldn’t find in Tidal. I also did the same with Primephonic.

Both seem very good for classical but alas not easy to connect via a normal hifi rig :roll_eyes:

Any progress with Roon Idagio integration?

Just registered/installed Roon. But I am a bit disappointed about the limited streaming services coverage. For the fee called, I would expect to have my key music sources covered. And Idagio is clearly quite on top.

Kind regard

It’s on record within the forum (I’ll search for it later) that Roon have asked other streaming providers, but it is them that aren’t showing willingness to get supported within Roon.

Maybe you could pop a Feedback > Feature Suggestions in for this.

To be integrated into Roon requires a download of the services data which most services will not permit

Without tis deep integration Roon cannot perform it’s magic. We know the “big 5” won’t allow it (Roon have tried with Apple and Amazon to their admission) IDAGIO may be small enough to allow.

Simply the big 5 want you to use their software so that your usage data can be collected . It’s not really Roon’s “fault”

Thank you @MusicD and Mike,
I have also submitted a request with IDAGIO for their “inspiration” :wink:
and mentioning that their might be a missed business opportunity,
espcially as contentwise they seem to be much closer to the Roon audience than other streamers.

TMHO having x number of individual apps, one for each service, this is so much oldschool 2000’s.

Services like Roon should be the future. Everthing at one place.
BTW Apple and Amazon are no reference in terms of having a broad spectrum of music for enthusiasts. Not using them anymore for at least 5-6 years already.

Thanky folks
if there might be anything some time you get aware of to get the ball running
count on my for support.

Brief update. For all who might have the same wish/need and are stumbling upon this thread.

Feel free to send a feature request to customer-service@idagio.com (they asked me to), adding to the one I dropped already, so that it counts up, please. I used “Roon integration” as wording.
