I did approach a member of the Roon team some while ago...

Unfortunately, their response was not positive. Sooloos is a dead platform, and there will not be any further development as Roon is now the primary focus. There is no way any software company would provide any support for a 15+ year old product!

Roon will continue to support using the Sooloos audio endpoints via their legacy protocols, but that's about it.

I don't believe that Meridian have anything to do with Sooloos anymore and certainly don't have any spares (that includes ID40 / ID41 cards!)

In reality, any technical knowledge is probably within this forum.

With regards to the hardware, it is all getting very old and obsolete (and I'm ignoring IT's - It's out of the box obsolescence!). Asking an MC200 to become a Roon server is pushing the limits of the CPU (especially if you want multiple zones or any form of conversion). It works as a proof of concept, but that's it... It's the same for converting a Control 15 to become a Roon terminal - it works, but due to the age of the hardware, it isn't really a long-term solution.

If you just want a simple library-only solution, you have to go a long way to beat Sooloos, it has many features ahead of its time, but if you need the extra integrations of Tidal or Qobuz, then Roon is the solution. I switched a couple of years back and haven't regretted it for a single moment. In fact, Roon has introduced me to so much extra music and learned my tastes, it is now my go-to source.

I'm happy to help and support any legacy Sooloos users. Drop me a PM, and I'll share my knowledge and experiences.

Cheers,

Steve
