The post title says it all. The A6 was RoonReady from the start, the A8 still is not. Any response from the Zidoo devs ?
Roon readiness: we can speculate on and on, but to be honest -and this is my very personal opinion- i don't care a single second...
Yet you felt the need to spend several minutes to read and reply to a thread titled, "Will the A8 ever be RoonReady ?"
I've been holding off upgrading from the A6 for this reason. Seems strange since the A6 is already certified, the A8 should be a piece-of-cake?
Only took them 4 months to start recruiting a replacement https://harman.wd3.myworkdayjobs.co...Roon-Ready-Certification-Program_R-35743-2024
Nice pull there. Yeah, I think somebody here needs to apply so can get the certification back on track
oh lord just pulled the trigger on A8, using as a streamer. Was hoping it would be quick as A6 was already Roon Ready
Looks like I can't post photos here so I'll post email. Today two moderators with Roon a Carl and some Rimmer guy (does he know what that means) took exception to what you posted here thebiglebowsk. I have removed my name and email as they are unique and pretty easy to Google. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: system via Roon Labs Community <no-reply@roonlabs.com> Sent: Thursday, May 9, 2024 5:43 PM To: Subject: [Roon Labs Community] [PM] Flagged post removed by staff system Roon Staff May 9 Hello, This is an automated message from Roon Labs Community to let you know that your post was removed.

Please review our community guidelines for details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I have often thought Roon was smoke and mirrors hiding most of its problems yet here you post proof while they hide it (Roon Staff). While I love the Roon product their moderators. Hmmm. To get Roon working with A8. On screen touch streamers category, scroll to bottom. Tap the Squeezeconnect app. A8 screen should display IP and roon server name. Tap connect on line with your Roon server. Start or switch to Roon, select (gear) Settings, Audio there should now be a Logitech category enable your a8. Now most people just stop here put on music and enjoy. If you are a tweaker or nerd. Access settings I have DSD strategy set to PCM. My DAC does native not DSD over PCM DOP v1. select if your dac supports. look at manufactures forum or website. My DAC doesn’t support MQA. Select relevant settings. Again check manufacturers resources. Keep in mind your streaming service needs to support MQA as well. Now I used fixed volume because I have a preamp and remote. Experiment with variable but would start with both volumes low. I left variable off because I found a slight difference in sound. Do lick clicking sound. Now under advanced I disabled PCM compression the ones I made aren’t compressed. Experiment. Max sample rate my DAC safe to set 192k investigate on manufacturers website. I disable MQA decoder as it limits roon to 24/96 don’t believe you need this on if DAC supports MQA. Don’t use it experiment. Unless you are use a sustrm capable of 5.1 or better multichannel down mix to to stereo. Don’t forget to save your settings. This is based on the Logitech Squeezebox system/ protocol. you will find your metadata and album art don’t work. I find roon rock is less stable it can crash once in a day or two...so for now power down A8 when done. If using Roon server elsewhere. Dog likes his tunes, big Dave Matthews fan... Great product Eversolo keep up the good work.
