@Audioholic – the idea is that we test their products with ours, through a much more rigorous test than any user would. They should test Roon with their product, and make sure we don’t do anything bad to their end.
Then, as a consumer confidence builder, we can both co-market that each others products are known to work well together. On top of that, Roon can identify the product, support extra features, provide links to the vendor website and the product manuals, etc…
We call this hardware manufacturer program “Roon Certified”.
