The Roon Ready program combines Roon Lab's RAAT (Roon Advanced Audio Transport) network distribution technology with a comprehensive certification program, and support infrastructure. Manufacturers producing Roon Ready products are able to integrate Roon's streaming technology directly into the firmware of their devices at no cost, and manufacturer/device branding is integrated into Roon throughout the app.
WiiM Pro streamers can now transparently discover and connect to a Roon music player (Roon Core, Roon Remote and the mobile app Roon ARC) without any configuration, delivering the power, flexibility and performance of networked audio, with the easiest setup and highest reliability available. It runs on most Mac, Windows, and Linux PCs, or on other products which include Roon Core.
"We are thrilled to achieve the Roon Ready certification for the WiiM Pro," says Lifeng Zhao, CEO of Linkplay Technology. "This certification reinforces our commitment to enriching the audio experience for our valued customers. The seamless integration with Roon takes the WiiM Pro to new heights, allowing users to explore and savor their favorite music with unparalleled sound quality."
Although the annual subscription costs more than the WiiM Pro, the Roon music player is a rich and engaging way to browse, organize and listen to music. Artist photos, credits, bios, reviews, lyrics, tour dates and composers are located automatically, then interconnected by links to build a surfable digital magazine. Users still need to add a TIDAL or Qobuz subscription.
The WiiM Pro is available now with its Roon Ready features for $149 on Amazon. Existing WiiM Pro users will receive an over-the-air update notification to enable Roon Ready on their devices.
