Hi Spuds1111
There is only a little information on how things are going to pan out, Meridian will continue with the current version of Sooloos software and continue to 'develop' it, we have no development roadmap at this time.
Roon are a new company comprising the original Sooloos developers, they are planning on releasing new software that will provide a different frontend to the Meridian Sooloos one, this is not currently released, note that some but not all Meridian core devices look like they may be able to run the Roon software. Core devices are currently C10, C15, MC200, MC600 & MD600, again we have no definitive statement on this?
Roon suggest their software is run on a relatively high specification Intel NUC or Mac mini.
Software updates have always come from Meridian for Sooloos kit, again if you stay with Meridian Sooloos 2.2 then it should continue, if you go to Roon then we have no statement from Meridian on how software updates would be implemented?
Additional storage is best achieved by adding a NAS in my view.
