They will not become [Roon Ready](http://kb.roonlabs.com/Roon_partner_programs). This is a bespoke integration. Given the limits of the hardware platform, we were unable to get the speakers to implement [RAAT](http://kb.roonlabs.com/RAAT).

This not-yet-release support is for networked speakers – no Windows involved. Are you mixing up USB and network streaming?

you should be able to do that now with the KEF LS50W in Windows without anything more from Roon or KEF.
