Hi @spockfish is there any reason I dont get any branding for the HifiBerrys in my signal path? I thought all partnered products showed branding or is this for audio hardware and not HATS?
Simon, I think you have to use the Roon Ready software from the hardware manufacturer to get the specific line art. So if you use the HiFiberry software youāll probably get it, but Ropieee and DietPi are generic for lots of HATs and they donāt have access to the line art of Roonā¦ May also be a branding issue involved as well - Iām not sure about that.
Ok thanks Geoff. Makes sense.
This is actually something that I should poke the Roon guys for. For a lot of distroās I can imagine that this doesnāt make sense for Roon, but RoPieee is āstrictly Roon onlyā. So it would be very cool if we can get RoPieee certified by Roonā¦

Ropieee is essentially just an os running RAAT which by definition should allow it to be Roon certified as far as the RAAT part goesā¦so this I hope would be a no brainer @danny
RoPieee is running RoonBridge ā there is nothing to certify.
The ability to be able to either select or submit custom icons for zones has come up as a feature request a number of times, e.g.:
Itās probably so far down the list of priorities that it will never see the light of day, but it would please some of usā¦
Shamefully bumping this, might be useful to someā¦ Iāve noticed while fiddling that it is now possible to āIdentify your deviceā and get the right branding, even when running Ropieee instead of the HifiBerry image.
The only thing Iām sad about is the āHigh Qualityā signal path. But I can live with it. Thereās no way those Phantoms can be played at 108 dB 
What about the Phantom Volume remote? You could disable DSP in Roon and get lossless signal path? I know the Phantom remote is ātemperamentalā so your solution may be the best after all

Good callout, thanks. I havenāt gotten the Remote because Iām currently using the two Phantom Golds in āOptical Directā mode with L/R channels. Controlling two of them with the Remote requires using the Dialog IIRC.
I wonder if thereās another RAAT supporting USB solution for the RPi with TOSLINK that I could hook up to them which maybe also does MQA unfolding?
I see! For Optical Direct I guess you are already using the best method for volume control. I am not aware of any RPi RAAT+TOSLINK that is better that the one you are using and certainly none with MQA. Iād think the MQA unfold in Roon is good?
Yep 
Seems fine. Iāve had some trouble with my Lindy Optical Splitter. Trying another unit now that officially supports 192kHz and shorter cables (3m vs. 1.5m).
For remote control I might try to find a IR based solutionā¦
Great little unitsā¦ I have one that splits the optical from the TV into my soundbar and a special Photonics unit that uses bluetooth to connect to my wifeās hearing aids so I can now listen at a more pleasant volume on the soundbar or even turn the soundbar off and my wife can hear everything thatās being transmittedā¦ so much better than having to have the soundbar blaring at everyone
