TOPIC:

I understand the limitation of the undeveloped Roon ready feature. Currently, Roon is the only way I can play music to the "LAN" function of the SHD and it is simply not capable of playing anything higher than 16bit format.

I don't mean that as a "slight" against MiniDSP or the SHD. It is merely letting other Roon users know that they may want to wait for this functionality to come to fruition before purchasing an SHD for that specific use. I use a Mac Mini computer to stream as a Roonbridge to the USB input of the SHD and it is flawless, with no limitations at all. I do look forward to ditching the Mac Mini when the SHD becomes fully Roon complaint.

Every time I see the SHD get updated, I will try the Roon Ready feature to see if it is "fixed/improved" and will report here with my results.

@Calenw

We understand but to be fair to miniDSP, did you ever read any comments/statements directly from miniDSP team (may it be our devteam or our company tech support that the SHD supports ROON?.. I don't think that we've ever stated such... I'm actually pretty sure we would have never done so...

The SHD happens to have Roon support via Volumio but it's soon going to end as I'm sure you're aware that Roon will lock all support outside "Roon Ready" products? Unless a product is roon certified, it will not work anymore as Roon is pushing for all products to be certified... We unfortunately can't say much of our roadmap but we always look for improvements.

I am unable to reach the specified server address. Neither of the two addresses specified in the manual work. Now I wait another few days for an answer. I bought this product several weeks ago and am still trying to get it working. It really is unbelieveable.

Sorry to hear of this issue that you can't reach the IP... It's odd you can't log in, let's try to investigate..
- Which address are you using in your browser? If you're using the SHD running the latest build, you'd be able to find the SHD at the following address on your network.
http://minidsp-shd
minidsp-shd.local
- Which OS are you using? Mac/Win
If using WIndows, you'll need to first make sure that you have installed itunes so you have bonjour in your OS as per the manual.

Please send us more information, we'd be happy to help.

I am having the same problem, i cant reach the volumio setup page. Nothing comes up when i try to use the adress in the manual. I have updatet to the latest versions of software etc. I dont understand why i cant reach it. Any suggestions? I am using a shd and i have dynamic ip allowed in my router, the unit is found inside my router software but still cant get to the setup page.

I'll hook on to this topic with a (what appears) a related issue. My SHD Studio is playing fine, everything works as it should, GUI on the PC via minidsp-shd.local/ just like in the manual. Only 1 thing is odd: this does not function from my phone (connected to the same LAN on same wifi as my PC). Not in the browser (Opera and Chrome tested the same), and also not in the Volumio app *) (Android). If I use the IP address of the SHD (192.168.1.26) it opens the GUI without any problem. So could it be that for some reason the .local addresses will not function on all devices?


*) entering the IP into the Volumio app caused me totally loosing LAN access to the SHD, support helped me restore this, but be warned that this setting in the Volumio app does more than it says. (my guess is that it fixes the IP, which in my network caused a conflict with another machine)

What about http://minidsp-shd ?

Yes, that one does work fine. Thanks.

Now all that Volumio needs to do is to update their app so it will find the SHD

Just ordered the SHD.
I have paid for Roon and do hope that this feature is added to the future roadmap! Here is hoping!
