MiniDSP SHD (ethernet) for Roon endpoint and iPad (Wifi) with Roon App for Roon remote control
Description Of Issue
My signal path, while High Quality, shows as “AirPlay Streaming”, but I don’t want to stream via AirPlay since I have the MiniDSP SHD connected to my network. Is there a setting I haven’t done correctly, or am I misunderstanding the Signal Path display? All connections are via ethernet and wifi.
Hi again, I think you’re connected to the wrong audio device. By that I mean the Airplay coonection to your SHD rather than the Roon RAAT endpoint. This looks to have the answer to your issue: Advice sought, Airplay vs Nucleus? with a picture or two. You need to look under Settings >> Audio to manage your endpoints. Good luck and feel free to update if you’re stuck or just to say it’s working.
Thank you pointing me in the right direction! It turns out that I needed to enable Roon Ready in Volumio, which is resident on the miniDSP and off by default. So now Roon sees the miniDSP SHD as an “unsupported device” —sadly—but at least it works. You saved me hours of frustration. Also it sounds dramatically better, as one would hope!
and feel free to update if you’re stuck or just to say it’s working.
