Description of Issue

Everything’s been working fine.
Until my latest problem this afternoon.

I’ve been using a USB cable from my Antipodes K50 music streamer to the USB PORT into the DAC built into my Gryphon Diablo 300 Integrated amp.

Because most opinions I’ve read strongly recommend that AES/EBU cable is superior to USB, I bought a high end one and waited until now, well into about a full week of burning in my system, to change out the cables and compare them.
I turned off both devices (Antipodes and Gryphon) before doing that, then attached the new AES/EBU cable.

I wasn’t surprised that now ROON did not recognize my Squeeze system.
That’s what happened before when I changed my Ethernet cables.

I learned the simple fix was to go to the Roon Core on my iMac, shut it down and then restart it. Right away, Squeeze was recognized by Roon and the system worked fine.

This time, doing all that, nothing works to get Roon to recognize Squeeze.

My whole system is inoperative.
Help!

I would suggest using the Roon Ready with the Antipodes as Roon does not support Squeezelite endpoints.

From the Roon Squeezebox FAQ:

Squeezelite/Software endpoints

Roon does not support software implementations of squeezebox endpoints, and we do not test with them as part of our QA process. If you attempt to do this, you are on your own.

It won’t work now as Roon has no way to know the DAC is attached to the Antipodes using this method so won’t show up as an endpoint I imagine . USB allows two way communication between device and Roon so it knows there is away to play out to it. Without that it has no idea. And as Rugby has said Roon does not and never has supported Squeezlite only official Squeezeboxes, they might work under certain conditions but under others not. So your on your own here I am afraid and best talking to Antipodes.
