Hi
I fully agree and I think Roon shall try to incorporate Idagio it will be positive for Roon Idagio and users
I imagine it requires agreements technical developments and so on.
But please try it!
I was thinking of looking into cryogenics and asking them to wake me up when Spotify HiFi comes out as I don’t think I will live long enough otherwise to see it.
Again never going to happen, been discussed to death already. They will only sanction it on Apple hardware and not using Roons playback engine so no DSP or bit perfect plus their DRM BS.
They mentioned new streaming services coming in 2023 and they’ve only released one so far. So that’s why asking for any updates makes sense. We are due for at least one more this year.
Seems we can rule out the big ones. No mention of Amazon. Deezer said to have stopped working with others. Apple willing to work with roon but only allowed on Apple products. Spotify doesn’t seem to work with anyone. Rumor has it that their new hires 24 bit Supremium tier is supposed to come out this month. But Spotify release schedule is unreliable. Hopefully Tidal will provide update to allow true hires thru roon, Tidal Connect and others shortly.
Searching the forum instead of chanting would probably find you the official answer, i.e. that Apple would put so many restrictions on it that it wouldn’t be Roon anymore, and so is not going to happen as long as this doesn’t change
The thing about Apple is they were at least willing to work with roon. And the restrictions were mentioned almost a year ago. We have no idea if any progress was made. Roon usually doesn’t talk upcoming features. So while unlikely, it is possible that roon and Apple can work things out.
They already said they had talks and it wasn’t going anywhere.
Their APi is pretty bad too, just look at any of the integrations and it’s poor selection of options you get. Tried it on Bluos, Heos and the Wiim. Not much better than their app. They only seem to be interested in getting people to use their app and have Alexacast built in, which is why you only see that on Wiim currently as they added Alexa.
