Phantom Gold not yet Roon Ready? [yes, they are now]

[mvrlogins (Mehul)]

There is a no additional hardware/cost way - using UPNP.

It’s a small bit of software you can run on your Mac (the same one running Roon) that will let Roon play directly to your Phantoms.

HowTo: Roonify non-Roon streamers (lms-to-uPnP)

and

Using Roon with the LMS-to-uPnP project

Thank you @Brian for the detailed insights. Hope to see something about that in your knowledge base. Also curious to know if somebody tried https://github.com/philippe44/LMS-to-uPnP with Roon as a workaround even if this is a third party plugin and not a robust solution to provide real UPnP “RoonLabs certified” support. Personally i don’t like UpnP protocol but there is a lot of “audiophile” people with UPnP only devices.

Works perfectly and will play anything up to 192/24 (the max the Phantoms support) and you can control the volume using Roon.

I’m using it now.
