Unable to Form Roon Group with NAD CS1 and Hegel H95 (ref#SXSJ8A)

Description of Issue

Hi, I currently have systems in two rooms-one with a Hegel H95 integrated and the other room has a Cambridge Audio CXA 61. All networking is connected via ethernet and playing music through both zones has worked fine using Apple AirPlay through a 3rd generation Apple TV connected to the CXA 61(the Hegel has its own ethernet port). Last week, I bought a NAD CS1 to replace the Apple TV, thinking that since the CS1 supports AirPlay, it would just be a simple swap out with the Apple TV. When I hooked it up Roon recognized it immediately, but will not let me form a group with the Hegel, because of the different protocol. Am I missing something or is there some way to have Roon “default” to AirPlay for the NAD CS1?

Thanks,
Robert

From the help:

In Roon > Settings > Audio, you can enable different types of outputs for a device, if it supports them. Like Roon Ready, AirPlay, and Chromecast. Then you have all of them available to choose from in the zone chooser menu in the bottom play bar.

Solved, thank you. I had gone through those steps a few times, but must not have noticed the NAD CS1 Under “Other Network Devices”-I had only seen the “Roon Ready” device. Anyway, all is good. Thanks again.
