When was the last time a Roonready device like a streamer needed an update from Roon ?
I ask because Auralic went out of business.
There will be no more software updates.
Not in the past 5 years while I was using Roon and read the forum. Because this is how RAAT is designed as I already mentioned in your other thread. It doesn’t even expect device updates while a company is alive:
Support for new streaming services, file formats, DRM schemes, etc can be supported without a firmware upgrade. In fact, the only reason an upgrade should be required is to fix a low-level bug, or to access more hardware functionality. This is really important. Not all partners/hardware have easy firmware update paths that can be done at home. Our acceptance of this reality has deeply influenced RAAT’s design. Just as with Google’s Cast devices, the majority of the business logic is delivered to the device at run-time as a script. This means that we are capable of completely re-designing the audio streaming and buffering logic without updating device firmware. This is absolutely critical, since most of the bugs + evolution in a system like this relate to networking, not audio. Other than Cast, we are unaware of another system that is this flexible.
Thank you so much
