wiimpro is Roon ready as well I think.
Second streamer in a Roon system. "Digital for analogue brains"
A rather simple question for some, but for us analogue people still a question.
I have run Roon on a SGC server and Electrocompanient DAC/Streamer in my main system. All hardwired; no Wifi.
I am setting up a second head phone based system in my upstairs office with spare components and things my children have moved on from ( or have forgotten about). So far I have a cheap DAC, a nice headphone amp, and a CD player. I want to add streaming via Roon. My assumption is that all I need is a streamer which I will plug into one of the many mesh pods that inhabit the walls of our house.
Is that correct? Or do I need another roon core/server ( can't see why I would but thought I would ask).
Many thanks. I used to feel like the dad in the comic strip "Zits", but now realize I am approaching the grandpa in "Pickles" ( though no grand kids yet).

Hello @rivinyl , yes, any ‘Roon endpoint’ streamer will see your Roon Core on your LAN. Using your Roon remote, you will be able to pick one or both of your endpoints to play, either synced as a group, or independently. |
If your SGC server running Roon core is connected to your network, all you should need is another Roon endpoint (could be as simple as a Raspberry pi unit) that is also connected to your home network and that feeds a DAC which outputs an analog signal to your amplification. Linked here is an example of a relatively inexpensive Roon endpoint unit. |
