> [@Mike\_Rife](#): > > This decision is not customer friendly. I bought a Nucleus and a $500 internal SSD for the long term. Now, if I have to move my system and disconnect my Schiit DACs, it sounds like the Nucleus and drive are doorstops. Your Schiit DACs are not affected. > [@mavmcl](#): > > so does that means I won’t be able to play music with Roon on my Emotiva system connected my living PC through USB? Your USB device is not affected. > [@Robin\_Smith](#): > > Loving the official Roon facebook page - bragging about about all the Roon “ready” devices, that now won’t be supported in a couple of weeks. That is going to go down sooooo well. 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. > [@John\_Kaster](#): > > Roon is extorting manufacturers for fees to keep Roon readiness Extortion for fees is not possible as there are none. We do not charge for certification. > [@DanielAvasilichioaei](#): > > it is only about network RAAT devices/protocol, or all protocols? 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](https://roonlabs.com/parnters) 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. > [@Mike\_Kelly1](#): > > I’d love to read the legal position in the Roon T&Cs on this, but unfortunately they appear to have been lost during the website update and can’t be accessed. [fixed](https://wwww.roonlabs.com/termsandconditions) > [@mavmcl](#): > > After rereading and seeing the screenshot they put in the post I think it will affect network streaming devices directly connected devices looks like those won’t be affected… correct, but only uncertified devices that are breaking the rules of Roon Ready certification. > [@anonymouse](#): > > does this mean that our Linn DS players, not Roon certified, can continue to be added in to a Roon system after 21 September? Your email to us said the opposite. Linn is not an uncertified Roon Ready device. It is Roon Tested. Linn will not break. > [@7NoteScale](#): > > My just received Elac Z3 is shown as “uncertified.” Should I be returning it to Elac under their 30 day return policy? you need a firmware upgrade. > [@SlyBlue](#): > > I use the Roon Bridge plugin for Volumio on my MiniDSP SHD, will that be impacted? no, Roon Bridge is unaffected. > [@Paul\_Whittaker](#): > > Allo Usbridge sig running Ropieee. If it is disabled after the 21st will I be in trouble? you are not affected. > [@Hubert](#): > > NAD M10 While this device is uncertified, it’s in the final stages of certification. We anticipate it’ll be done by the 21st. > [@BlackJack](#): > > I believe that enforcing the certification step for “Roon Ready” certified equipment is a good and long overdue investment in the credibility of the certification process and in the long run for the benefit of all (Roon Labs its partners and the customers (us)). YES! This is exactly why are we doing this. > [@tretneo](#): > > To be clear, Chord has indicated (to me) that the ball is in Roon’s court hence my question. You have not spoken to the right person at Chord. This is not the case. We are waiting for new firmware from them. > [@Fernando\_Pereira](#): > > TBH, the 2go was the first (expensive) device I bought because of the “Roon Ready” label, and I feel duped 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. > [@Matthew\_Horne](#): > > So looking at the partner list you have the gold note IS1000 listed which I assume means certified - however it’s listed as uncertified in Roon itself ?? you need new firmware. it is certified, but you have a pre-release firmware. > [@Martin\_Kelly](#): > > You’re just bummed that you bought a streamer from a company that effectively lied to you. Yes! This type of thing will not be possible after September 21. > [@mikeb](#): > > I support this change, because everyone wants to claim “Roon Ready/Tested”, but no one can be bothered to go through the process or actually test it. Roon Readyness will drive my purchasing decisions, and manufacturers need to know and respect that. Thanks. A few bad eggs will all fix themselves pretty quickly now. > [@AndersVinberg](#): > > If I power it down (it’s battery-powered!) it disappears from the list of zones of course, but sometimes it needs to be Enabled again when I turn it back on, which is a hassle (four mouse clicks — the horror!). 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. > [@Stephen\_Seay](#): > > Umm…they have supported it by not blocking it. yah… that’s what we are fixing on September 21st. > [@thyname](#): > > Does it affect Innuos devices? no. > [@Fernando\_Pereira](#): > > Manufacturers can just stay out of Roon Ready commitments and use RoonBridge, which works fine. Manufacturers are not allowed to re-distribute RoonBridge. > [@Stephen\_Seay](#): > > I got a message from one vendor today that they are going to start working on certification again… Good stuff. > [@Frank\_Daman](#): > > Since NAD uses BluOS, I can’t help but wonder if I can trust Roon not to stop supporting existing Roon Ready devices. If it was certified, you can trust it. After September 21st, no manufacturer should be able to cheat the system. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.roonlabs.com/t/roon-ready-certification/91655)._
