RE: I don't know DLNA from the NBA

Are you familiar at all with a networked audio set up? If not, I can't be of much help.

DLNA is simply a networking protocol that allows media devices to communicate. So I can stream a movie on my computer to my Apple TV in another room etc.

Don't get too caught up in the Roon buzz.

It is a very good software, written by the folks who used to work on Sooloos.

The benefits, besides perhaps better sound, and a cleaner protocol, is the meta data overlay.

For example for any given album you stream it will tell you who wrote the songs, who played on the album, who produced it, it will give you 20 other artists with a similar sound, show you album reviews etc.

Roon Ready SIMPLY means the device can talk to the Room software running on your NAS. Nothing more.
