The difference is iTunes requires apple/approved hardware in each zone. What he is doing with Roon is trying to mix airplay and other protocols in a single group.
ROON ZONES
I am streaming Tidal and my CD's through Roon on a Mac Mini connected to my Classe SSP-800.
My issue is trying to listen to the same material at the same time in different zones. My second zone is
a B&W A-7, so it runs on Airplay. How can I sync both of these zones to run together? Do other wifi
speakers such as Bluesound devices sync with Roon? My whole point is to get better sound than Sonos.
BTW the streaming Tidal sounds amazing. Mac Mini is hardwired to internet and Roon remotes run well
on laptop and iPhone.
