Roon, NDS and 4.6

Posted by: David O'Higgins on 24 April 2018

Since I upgraded the NDS to 4.6, the stream information is no longer showing correctly in the NDS display. Playing Bob Dylan ‘Desire’ (FLAC 192/24), the display shows ‘Streaming 69 9216k ?????’. Anyone else come across this?

How are you getting Roon to play via the NDS?

Chrissu, there are quite a few threads here on this topic. Suggest you do a search. I’ve forgotten the technical details - I just have it working. I’m running Roon on a fanless pc and I bought a product called Sonore Upnp bridge from a company called Small Green Computer, to make the connection to the NDS. 

That Sonore product is no longer available, but what is now available from them is Sonictransporter i5, which has Roon pre-installed (subject to paying the Roon sub.) and which can make the connection to the NDS. (So my 2 boxes could now be one under this approach). A bit of head banging is required, but you can get there, and it is definitely worth it.

All this is based on components networked via a switch, and in my case, the switch connected to my router using Ethernet over mains (Tplink), which some folk here despise, but I don’t really have a choice.

Hope this is understandable!
