Hi all, I think it would be useful to post a synthetic paper or blog post to highlight the major ROON and RAAT benefits VS UPNP / DLNA concurrent solutions. There is already some elements: On the knowledge base a good Roon architecture presentation and RAAT design goals. Very interesting but se…

Thank you @andybob , interesting thread but too SQ, clock oriented, and technical for the average user. I think a paper about how the ROON VS UPNP technical differences leads to a different UX would be useful.

The only difference in UE would be in the SQ. so, in that sense it is already covered.

[image] Herold_Gray: twonky Twonky isn’t an adjective. It’s a piece of software that (in that discussion) represents the “typical” UPnP media server/control solution.

I agree, it would help to have a more organized article directly to this point. The only difference in UE would be in the SQ. so, in that sense it is already covered. There are UX differences beyond sound quality. One example–in UPnP, if a new streaming service or file format hits the market, e…

Thank you very much @Brian and sorry for misunderstanding the word “Twonky”, I’m french. I’m also convinced UPnP technical architecture leads to UX differences VS Roon’s. IMHO SQ is not the problem with UPnP but global UX is. The knowledge-base article you post about Roon centralized architecture…

While Roon emulate LMS (working very well) i’m curious if someone use these “bridges” to stream from Roon (with SqueezeBox support enabled) to UPNP renderers, even if the UX is not as good as with true native RoonReady devices ? We’ve thought about it…it’s very difficult to get that right. Many …

Thanks very much for the explanation, Brian. I suspect this will sound very self-interested, but is there any chance of supporting OpenHome? In my experience, multi-room and multi-remote sync does work reliably with multiple Linn devices, and I understand (but don’t have first hand experience) tha…

Pretty much everything I said above applies to OpenHome too. Format support is determined by the endpoint, and we’d be still be doing “transport on top of a transport”, just as with UPnP. The main difference with OpenHome is that the field of devices that support OpenHome is smaller and less varied…

Brian, thanks for the very quick response. It’s a real pleasure to see the Roon team’s involvement on the forum and I am continually impressed not just with the team’s responsiveness, but also with the substance of the responses. I understand that OpenHome support would be a kludge, and my first p…

[image] brian: One example–in UPnP, if a new streaming service or file format hits the market, each endpoint needs a firmware update independently, and each vendor of endpoint hardware needs to make business relationships to make that happen. Not defending UPnP, but that’s not really true. Wi…
