High end multiroom streaming

Hi all,

I am looking to do multiroom streaming without roon.

I have 3 zones - living room, kitchen and backyard.  I listen to spotify for multiroom and tidal for critical listening.  Roon does not support spotify which is why I need to avoid it.

High end options seem to be limited.  I have found Naim, Simaudio/moon and bluesound node into a high end dac.

I tried to do it with Lumin but their multiroom does not sync perfectly and I get a nasty echo when using the living room and kitchen zones together.  I was very disappointed with Lumin - bought the gear installed it and it would not sync (not sure why you would do multiroom that does not sync) ??

Anyway any suggestions for other brands to look at would be appreciated 

Also does anyone use Naim or Simaudio/moon for multiroom setups?

Thanks

"Hi-end" and Spotify don't really go together in my mind.  Spotify is nice for background music.

Roon is your best bet for high quality sound and a great interface.  I am controlling three rooms with Roon.  I haven't however tried to play the same thing on all three at the same time so can't speak to how well it syncs up when all are playing.  It does have a "group" control, so I assume it can play to all three, or two at a time.

Roon can play radio stations like Radio Paradise and can also create "radio" from your sources - Tidal, Qobuz, your server if you want background music.

Unless you're really stuck on Spotify, give Roon a look.
