Hi Tom,

You mention Sooloos cost, but this topic is about the cost of Roon, so forgive me if I've got the wrong end of the stick here.

From a Roon point of view all you have to do is add audio end points be they Meridian or non-Meridian.

Network Connected Endpoint Examples
MS200
MS600
MC200
MC600
808
818
861
AirPlay Devices
Others manufactures (in the pipeline)

Directly Connected Endpoint Examples
Meridian Prime
Meridian Explorer
USB DACs (asynchronous versions are best)
Mac internal audio device
PC internal audio device
Tablet internal audio device

So there is the cost of the hardware itself (be that Meridian or otherwise). As for Roon licensing; there has been informal talk of a one off fee or subscription. I guess it's possible that the licensing model could be tiered as well i.e. max number devices might be a factor ... but I really don't know. I suspect we will have to wait just a little while longer to find out.

Regards,
Carl
