Perhaps you could make a post in the Tinkering category of the forum to let us into the secret of how you integrated this into Roon, and what the capabilities are? Dank je!

Not much to share, I’m afraid – the knob controls Sonos (assign Sonos zone to knob in IKEA app) and as such – indirectly – Roon. Same as using the controls on a Sonos speaker or in the Sonos app while Roon is streaming.
No, I don’t. All open plan downstairs – and the other zones are spread out over three floors.
No bass problem here – in my room, the Play:5s responded to the TruePlay treatment very nicely. I adjusted the treble downwards a trifle, but that’s about it.

You’re absolutely right. Spending big bucks on a piece of hardware with terrible usability but great sound sounds very familiar. If in reality most music listening takes place on the road or in the kitchen usability must reign high.
Just wired up my new Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra. It’s a wireless Roon Endpoint with USB output. Currently using an inexpensive Topping D10 DAC to get me started. I expect a fancier DAC might find it’s way into my system in due course. But for now it’s sounding great! Very pleased with the sound into my Croft pre and vintage Radford valve power amp.

Josh is a great Bass player and a fine chap
Keeping it simple -
KEF R5, Hegel H190, NUC8i5BEH with 2TB internal SSD running ROON and Qobuz, sMS-200ultra ROON end point, sPS-500 PS.
This is a great sounding system.

Love the RCA dog.
Quick question: what is the blue box?
Thank you 
Ill take a look
Thanks. The blue box is a Netgear GS105 network hub.
Least expensive “box” in the entire setup. 
KEF seems popular. We are several to own this brand. I really like it.
Hi, Michael
Looks like a great set up.
Are running AudioQuest cable, if not what are you using for cabling. (Digital and Analog)
I hope that “Rationalitis” disease is curable.
If that malicious virus infects many users here, before science finds a cure, we are all lost.
So many snake oil companies will be put out of business.
Be well !

Listening room / library:
Focal Electra 1028 Be2, NAD M10, Nucleus+ with 2TB SSD, Cables by Audioquest (speakers, power, ethernet), Quobuz Studio.
The Focal are sensational- vive la France!
NAD (not bad at all) may be replaced next year by Hegel H390 as soon as it will be Roon-ready.
Living room:
KEF LS50 wireless (WIFI to Nucleus+), REL T5 sub.
My wife allowed me to buy any stereo as long as it is white and small.
Excellent combo, no WIFI issues at all.

Thank you. I’m using AudioQuest GO4 speaker cables, AudioQuest Cinnamon ethernet cables and Curious usb cable. I’m not running any analog cables in this system.
