Roon supports Qobuz and Tidal. The Pachanko server will serve as the Roon core and you can connect any DAC directly to the server and there is no necessity for the DAC to be Roon approved. The Roon approved endpoint issue arises only if you wish to connect the Panchanko to your DAC by the local Ethernet or Wi-Fi network. If you will be networking the Server and the endpoint then the endpoint needs to be Roon certified. I use a Wolf Alpha 3SX server as my Roon core on my rack and connect my Gryphon DAC via USB. My Wolf is hardwired to my switch and router and via Roon accesses Qobuz and my 24TB NAS for content. I use an IPAD employing the “Roon Remote” to control my selections.
Roon DAC? help please....took a chance on Pachanko Labs - know nothing about Roon
Hi All,
so basically I sourced a barely used server/streamer with matching power supply and lifetime Roon
I only have a bluesound at the moment as dac / streamer and I'm guessing I need a new dac
Can I buy any dac or must it be Roon ready?
