Great feedback from Steve.
And to support his point, I’d like to point your attention to this interesting dialogue. Continuing the discussion from Roon and the Auralic Aries:
“Thank you Steve. It’s an easy answer, I understand, but I’m a new user of Roon…
I read that page (and some others) before installing the software and it says: “A Roon system starts with a core” and “The core can be your Mac or Windows PC, or a server from one of our hardware partners.”
Being Auralic one of the partners, I thought that the Aries could be a core so that I needed only Roon on the ipad (control apps) to send the music to the dac.
In another way, is the Aries a core and I’ve missed something in the Roon’s setting on the ipad or is the Aries an output and I need also a pc – the core – with Roon?”
This was a case where a newbie reasonably concluded that his Aurelic Aries might just be the “server” that ran a core for him. After all, it is “RoonReady”.
I’d have never caught this myself. Too close to the subject matter. Might be beneficial to have some truly fresh eyes look at the knowledge base, and when they get confused or aren’t clear, find out why.
