Paul McGowan from PS Audio mentions Roon :-)

Since Roon already sends bit perfect audio to endpoints via RAAT, does this mean nothing else can be improved with RAAT, with respect to sound quality? It’s already as good as it gets since it’s bit perfect?

I’m guessing you are talking about fidelity loss, and not errors here…

We could reduce the CPU requirements of the RAAT SDK, but it’s unclear if that would be a win. It would surely result in a loss in functionality.

I speak about the difference between fidelity loss and errors here…

That is not at all what I am implying… When a digital audio stream is altered it can happen a few ways: bits are changed and/or lost and caught by error correction techniques causing a retransmit bits are changed and/or lost and not caught by error correction techniques so they are allowed to be played In the case of #1, if the errors are caught, a retransmit can be requested and if the retransmitted data arrives fast enough that the buffer is not emptied, then the resultant stream is still …
