Thanks, Jim.Does Roon work on iPad?Edit: I see Roon has an app for iPad. It's says, "Roon for Mac or PC required". I take it the required software would already be installed on the Salkstream so a separate PC or Mac wouldn't be needed?
What's considered a "newer version " of iPad? I have an original iPad Mini and an iPad Mini 2....oh, and an iPhone 5S. Would these work?Thanks again for the great info. I wish I could attend the show to see it first hand.Edit: I see iPad Mini 2 listed as compatible, but not original iPad Mini nor any iPhone.
I was hoping other Salkstream owners would share their experiences with iPad apps.Anyone?
Sorry I have no insight, but checking in to keep an eye on this thread. I do have a salkstreamer that I haven't got set up yet; I need to find time to add a router to give me something to provide DHCP to get the streamer going. I am interested to read about control apps for this as well.Roon does sound (read to be) impressive, but I'm doing my best to avoid as much 'software as a service' as I can. I know for most folks in the audio hobby, a $500 'lifetime membership' isn't a lot of money, but the whole concept just really rubs me the wrong way, and I say that looking across the entire software industry.
Is there any reason Logitech Media Server couldn't be used on the Salkstream? Sorry if this is a silly question, but I am a complete amateur when it comes to anything computer related (and the reason I don't build my own...eek!). It appears to be available for many different operating systems (right term?).http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/index.php?ver=7.9
At one time very early on, we did have SlimServer installed. But it is not the most stable media software and is fairly buggy. And there isn't much demand for supporting the Logitech hardware any more. I suppose we could do it, but I don't know how excited I would be about the prospect.- Jim
Question about Roon: it looks like you have to "subscribe" or buy a lifetime license. I assume the Salkstream III comes with a lifetime license? What happens if Roon goes away? Will the software still work, at least in terms of how it handles playing my own music?
Thank you for the great info. It does answer some of my questions. Concerning what would happen if Roon went out of business, I was wondering if the Roon software would continue to function as the front end to control/play my personal library. I gather from the info you provided I would have to use a different control app if Roon went belly up.
Hi Jim,By RoonReady, do you mean the Roon Core has been integrated into the Salkstream? Or is the Salkstream acting as an endpoint?Sorry, I'm a little late getting into the Roon discussion. Todd
