NAD M10 V3 is not Roon Ready (yet?)

ROON Partners - NAD

That’s good news. I installed this update (4.8.17) yesterday and it still showed up as “not certified”. I restarted my ROON server now that you posted that and it works.

BTW, the release notes of this update don’t mention ROON.

Thanks!

That’s amazing news. I bought it three weeks ago and was beyond disappointment that it wasn’t ready. My first Roon Ready amp! All tips and tricks are welcome for the M10, other owners.

Frankly I can’t tell the audio quality difference between AirPlay 2 and ROON RAAT, but what I really like is the smooth transition when I skip to another track. With AirPlay I found this annoyingly harsh.

And Dirac room calibration is really worth the (small) effort.

I wasn’t convinced of the Dirac Live (since I never set it up before) and did it 3 or 4 times without good result. Then I found out about the target curve of the amp which is coming with it on the USB stick and - what a difference! - I bough the full spectrum Dirac Live license and it has been so incredibly worth it. I’m revisiting my entire music collection and continue to hear new things.
