@T38.45

how to process that path

You mean the URL when clicking the Learn More button? It seems that sonictransporter is a mini PC. I suppose you have a Linux distro installed, does it not have a browser that opens when you click the button?

In any case, I suppose this announcement on the Roon forum will tell you all you need to know:

Upcoming Linux Performance Improvements

[T38.45]

Thanks! I will check out the roon community forum!

I have asked Martin at Audiostore via the chat thing on his website. He hasn’t responded yet but it was late when I sent it and it’s early now.

I will report his comments here.

A partial update.

If you Google Sonore Roon Linux you will find a thread on the Roon forum where Andrew at Small Green Computer Company says the required stuff is there if you’re already on 2.8

Thanks folks! That helps!!

[KRM]

Yep, that’s the link. Wasn’t sure if I could post it.

I’m now wondering about becoming a beta tester

[T38.45]

updated today- it works (beta release)!

[KRM]

Are you seeing performance improvements?

[T38.45]

Not really….

[KRM]

Martin at Audiostore suggested I might not see much difference, perhaps a bit faster

[T38.45]

Guess that‘s true, maybe slightly faster, I‘ll wait for the final version now.

Actually in my system I notice a faster behavior on the beta, iOS device is a lot more stable and it has been running all day without starting to get slow and had to restart roon after a few hours.

So at least for me is a lot better running from my NAS, it still has a bug in iOS volume going to zero without a logical reason, but on the streamers is working good.

I just installed and all seems fine and I do think it’s a bit more responsive. I use the Sonore Bridge to Roonify my NDS. I’m crossing my fingers the Beta will be less prone to skipping

I installed the finally released version and it works fine on my Intel i7 8 core server. Much snappier performance. No downside at all from what I can see and hear.
