Your Schiit DACs are not affected.
Your USB device is not affected.
There are only a handful of devices breaking the rules. All those devices on the official Roon Facebook page are unaffected as they passed certification. We wouldn’t announce uncertified devices.
Extortion for fees is not possible as there are none. We do not charge for certification.
It is only about devices that never completed Roon Ready certification or lied about their Roon Ready certification status. If it’s on our partners page as a Roon Ready device, you have nothing to worry about. If you visit Settings -> Audio and see no pink UNCERTIFIED banner, you have nothing to worry about.
correct, but only uncertified devices that are breaking the rules of Roon Ready certification.
Linn is not an uncertified Roon Ready device. It is Roon Tested. Linn will not break.
you need a firmware upgrade.
no, Roon Bridge is unaffected.
you are not affected.
While this device is uncertified, it’s in the final stages of certification. We anticipate it’ll be done by the 21st.
YES! This is exactly why are we doing this.
You have not spoken to the right person at Chord. This is not the case. We are waiting for new firmware from them.
Agreed, this is the type of behavior that will become impossible after September 21st. The manufacturers of these devices are cheating the process, and you were “duped” into believing it was signed off by us as Roon Ready. This is an example of the trust of the Roon Ready program being eroded by misbehaving manufacturers.
you need new firmware. it is certified, but you have a pre-release firmware.
Yes! This type of thing will not be possible after September 21.
Thanks. A few bad eggs will all fix themselves pretty quickly now.
This is one of the things that needs to be fixed before they will be certified. That said, you will still be able to use the 2go via Airplay until they get their act together.
yah… that’s what we are fixing on September 21st.
no.
Manufacturers are not allowed to re-distribute RoonBridge.
Good stuff.
If it was certified, you can trust it. After September 21st, no manufacturer should be able to cheat the system.
