Shanling EH3 Roon integration

Hi,

How could I see the new Shanling EH3 on Roon?

As a bridge or as an endpoint?

It lacks Ethernet but has WiFi and BT.

Thanks

The EH3 is a streamer/DAC? Is there a reason you posted this in the Professional Home Automation category? Probably not, so I’m moving it to Audio Gear Talk

According to this product page it can do Airplay 1, so this should work in Roon. You should find it in Roon > Settings > Audio > Roon Tested

Nope it will be under Other Network Devices it’s not Roon Tested. Only Roon Tested Airplay devices show up anything else is under Other Network Devices.

Right, thanks for correction.

So, do I have all options in Roon? Like PEQ ext…? Thanks

All except upsampling because Airplay is limited to CD quality. And you can only create a grouped zone together with other Airplay devices.

Alternatively, it seems to be able to be used just as a DAC over USB. In this case you would have to connect it to some kind of computer that runs Roon or Roon Bridge. Then you can use it with Roon‘s native RAAT protocol and use full resolution.

Thanks a lot. So if I join a Rpi4 with Ropieee via USB, it becames a Roon Bridge?

I’m not an expert on this but you’d have to install Roon Bridge at least.

See the many existing threads on RPi and Roon Bridge, e.g.,
