I currently run Sooloos in 7 zones, and am working to add 2 more... 3 zones have Meridian DSP's, the remainder of zones are passive speakers... At times I link the zones when we entertain, I believe the distributor handles this capability.

Also love the Tidal/Rhapsody integration, we use it all the time... even my wife has mastered it, this alone has made the project a home run! grin

I noted that I have an endpoint issue (update requirement). I also realize my question may be far down the (Roon roadmap) list, to me the iOS app (I have 4 fixed iPads on wall to control discrete zones, with 5 additional "floaters" that also control) needs to be released for me to begin seriously considering the switch...

But... does Roonlabs plan on supplanting Sooloos for the type of multi-zone deployment with requirements such as mine? The multi-zone capabilities of Sooloos (given the fact that I am normalizing volume when linking zones between DSP and passive speakers) is decent. Not great, but I can work with it... If Roon could be on par but better yet improve this, then I would be thrilled.

I love my system overall, but not interested in switching over until/unless I could make a clean cut and utilize Roon fully given my requirements.

Overall I must also note that this forum is truly impressive, the planning and execution of my project would not have been realized without the contributions located in this unique community.
