After we confirmed with ROON, SOUNDAWARE A1(X), A1Pro and A300 have completed the ROON Ready certification! This means that all SOUNDAWARE players currently in production have passed the ROON Ready certification. I believe this is good news for audio enthusiasts who have purchased ROON and SOUNDAWARE equipment. Through our actual test, when the SOUNDAWARE device and ROON Core are in the same LAN, the name and icon of the SOUNDAWARE device can be displayed correctly, and the ROON Ready function can also be used normally.
