Roon Software Discussion
1

Hello there

Have a nice tablet running W10 fully updated, and i was hoping that i could use it for remote my ROON Core system but…NO thats not possible or?

Any suggestions here?

Tablet is: Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 10.1"

Do i have to get an IPad?..Not a Apple user!

Use my Android phone but he screen is way to small for use proberly

Thanks anyway

I have the same request. No way to do it that I can find,

I will say that the tablet experience is stellar, even if it is full-on Cadillac even at times that i only want a rusty Pinto. Well worth the tablet investment, IMO.

Well well…seems to I have to get an IPad then…

Any size suggestions or model?

Thanks…

I’m using a Surface Pro (I’m allergic to Apples and can’t stand the spyware OS the world knows as android OS) and it’s great!

That being said, a good sized tablet is better than a smaller one, regardless of flavor.

Is it MS Surface Pro your talking about?..Its running Windows OS or?

The Windows tablet discussed is Windows 10 and has enough grunt to run Roon as a remote. However the tablets are restricted to downloading from the Windows app store unless they are the full Surface Pro’s. You could request Roon make their software available via the app store or look at a way of side loading software.

Thanks…I’ll do that

This is not correct - only if you have a tablet (or the new Surface Laptop) which is running Windows 10S are you restricted to software in the Store.

A tablet running Windows 10 has no such restriction.

You just download the Windows version of Roon, and on first startup, instead of making it a Core, tell it to connect with your existing Core - it should have found it on your network, and be displaying it for you to connect to.
