I try to remind myself that Software can be updated quicker and easier these days (over the Internet) than the hardware release cycle. I have been listening on my Mac Pro using the RAAT protocol, and I am impressed.

I wonder if Meridian Audio would have to pay to license the RAAT protocol from Roon ?

Competition on hardware endpoints should make Meridian more responsive to requests like this, though right now I honestly think there is a lot more functionality embedded into the USB input than will ever be in the ID41 network stack ... ( DSD, extremely High Res, etc).
