The only Sooloos equipment which is really obsolete are the stores and control, though, right? The endpoints still work and the MC-series still work as endpoints just not stores under Roon.

At the end of the day, with the stores and control screens, we’re talking about glorified computer equipment - we all know how quickly that dates and the kinds of financial hit we all take all the time with the pace of computer and network development. Honestly, I’m surprised the lifetime of that gear was as long as it was.

Makes sense going forward for Meridian to move over to RAAT for new endpoints, while Roon continue to support old Sooloos protocol for existing gear.

The part which is risky is if Roon ever go under, then very expensive network gear like ID40/41 is no longer supported by the manufacturer...
