Sooloos is about as close to turnkey as one could want.
- I don't back up anything. Never have in 30 + years and never will.
- I use Control:Mac to import CD's and files. Since just about anyone who is going to purchase something from Meridian will own some kind of computer that is not an issue.
-iPads are about as ubiquitous as mobile phones. It isn't like I had to go purchase one to run control Sooloos
- I haven't had a PC in the house in years. The only time I could have used one is when I need to turn off the MC200's Core to allow output from Roon to my 808 endpoint. Since I don't have one, I gave up on Roon.
