Play music to Bose Soundbar 700 from Roon

I have a Bose Soundbar setup in my bedroom. Currently I’m streaming to an Apple TV connected to a Sony Brava TVwhich is connected to the Soundbar. Is support for the new Bose soundbars coming? or is there a higher quality sound solution I can use with the Bose?

You can use a Raspberry Pi with a DAC HAT with SPDIF out such as the Digione from Allo.com.

Many thanks for the info, is there link for support notes for this setup?

The Soundbar 700 only has optical S/PDIF (TOSLINK) input, so the DigiOne will be no use since this only supports coaxial. Instead hook up a Chromecast Audio with mini-TOSLINK optical cable (not sure about performance) or a IQAudiO Pi-Digi+ hat for an RPi.

Indeed, you can use this DAC board with TOSLINK out: https://www.hifiberry.com/products/digiplus/

My guess is that would be easy and work fine. I use a CCA for one of my endpoints, and am very satisfied.

I take an optical Output from my DAC ( headphone amp) to my Samsung HW 950 sound bar , same sorta thing

I use RPi , Digione, coax to DAC input then out on optical

Hide the wires …
