The RAAT streaming technology moves bit-perfect streams to Roon Ready networked devices and outputs connected to devices running Roon, Roon Server, or Roon Bridge.
Roon supports many different kinds of output devices, including:
Roon Ready Networked devices.
Connected outputs, including USB DACs, sound cards, and built-in outputs
AirPlay devices
Logitech's Squeezebox devices
Meridian Audio's networked endpoints
HQPlayer

My concern is a recent post on AudioCricle suggesting that Roon's network protocol might be dropping information. There was clearly loss, but it is not fully understood why. I'd like to see more quantitative work done in this area.
I wonder if this could be one reason some folks are getting better sound with Roon and storage on a single server connected directly to the DAC... rather than via endpoints and/or NAS.
I am curious, as I'd like a Roon-based solution.

I suspect that the quality of the network might have an impact. No issues here with wired Ethernet.
There was clearly loss, but it is not fully understood why.Did someone prove this? And was there a problem with the network that this was tested on?
I haven't had any such issues with Roon. It sounds just as good 'locally' as it does streamed across my network to my end-points.
