    Not sure why I hadn't thought of this before, but I just tried sideloading Roon ARC on the DMP-A8 and it installed. However, when I click on Login, I get an error message saying "Something went wrong."

    Anyone else try this? Any thoughts on why I can't even log in?

    Ok, well I think it has something to do with not being able to sign in via Chrome or Google Playstore. There may be a way to do it but I'm in over my head on Android hacking.

    So close. I had to install Chrome and log into Roonlabs and then was able to launch and connect to my Roon ROCK with Roon Arc. It even scales to the DMP-A8 screen. However, I cannot get audio through yet. I'm guessing I need to make the A8 look like an Android phone but aren't sure that I want to go that far with tweaking in fear that I'll screw up lots of other stuff on the A8.

    Bummer A8 is not Roon Ready like I'd expect it to be. Good luck getting it to work.
