Hey srb,

I purposefully did not insert a link as some folks, to reduce malware infestation, like to read the link URL before heading there. This way, you can cut and paste, knowing you’ll actually go to exaSound’s site!

I always inspect hyperlinks before clicking on them by resting my cursor over them and noting the address in the status bar (and wrongly assumed everyone does, but I would recommend it), however I will delete the links.

Hey Steve,

I was ignorant of the AudioCircle protocol regarding such things. Next time, I’ll link directly…thanx!

This is only compatible with exasound dacs, correct?

Does the front panel of the player should track/artist info when serving as a roon endpoint?

Yup, PayPoint shows the title of the current track, artist name and the album title, in that order.
