Roon ready Zen Stream purchased from Roon store, Roon app on all devices can’t find the core
What is your Roon Core machine?
And I assume the ZS is on the same network as your Roon Core?
This sounds like you think that your Zen Stream can be a Roon Core, which of course it can’t. . Maybe it’s just the way you’ve phrased it?
@Pandacuz, @AceRimmer and I welcome you to the community. The Zen Stream is Roon Endpoint device, not a Core (Roon’s name for the computer hosting the database and control functions).
Have you set up your system following these guidelines:
Can the Zen be a core? I have it hooked up to internet router, a Dac/amp, and USB external hard drive.
No, it is an Endpoint, something TO which Roon streams, but not a computer FROM which Roon streams, which is the Core computer.
Got it (obviously out of my depth here), can a Nucleus serve as a core.
Yes, or a Mac, PC, Linux computer, or a NAS, or you can create your own Nucleus-type server using an Intel NUC and Roon’s free server software.
Thank you for your swift reply and patience with my ignorance, I understand now.
