Asset upnp no artwork marantz 50101/13/2024 I can understand that the Linn protocol may be different from Marantz, but then why the single step change? It's puzzling.Īs general feedback, Linn Kazoo is performing better than ROON, because a) it works and b) it's free! I'm using it on the Android phone too. It always shows the same volume, which is not the volume the Marantz is set at. Kazoo shows the volume control, but it will only allow a single 0.5dB change at a time. However, the BubbleUPnP Server helper software (not to be confused with the popular BubbleUPnP Android app) can be run on any computer to provide OpenHome emulation for any standard UPnP/DLNA renderer/player/streamer (such as your Marantz) on the network, including providing TIDAL & Qobuz access: Unfortunately, though Linn designed OpenHome to be an Open Platform, so available for anyone to use, it is incompatible with standard UPnP/DLNA streamers and their controller applications. The OpenHome Streaming Service allows access to online streaming services such as TIDAL & Qobuz. There is a version of UPnP, OpenHome (aka UPnP with Linn extensions) that can provide a direct streaming connection to TIDAL. The delay is due to the processing that's needed by SWYH to capture and buffer the PC's audio output so that it can be turned into a format that's streamable over the network. The other issue (& I'd suggest the more important one) is there can be a significant delay (up to a few seconds) between the sound produced by the music software (eg Roon's) running on the computer and the sound being played by the network streamer, ie, its out of sync. However, I believe SWYH uses the Windows Audio engine for sound capture, which some have suggested is less than ideal if using an older version of Windows, such as Vista. In theory, if you are using SWYH's WAV stream and have your Windows system sound set to 16bit/44.1kHz (CD quality), ie, the same resolution that the highest resolution TIDAL streams at, the sound capture should be bit perfect. SWYH is a specialised UPnP media server, that captures the Windows computer's sound output (so the sound being produced by any software running on the PC) into either a (lossless) WAV or (lossy) MP3 file formatted stream. In fact, you are using UPnP on the SR6009, when streaming from the StreamWhatYouHear Windows software. In common with the majority of the Marantz devices of the last few years that have network file streaming support, the SR6009 does indeed support industry standard UPnP/DLNA as well as Apple's AirPlay. Out of interest, what is the problem with your Marantz streaming from Roon via AirPlay?Īnyway, end of rant. How can they claim to support AirPlay, if it doesn't work properly with the approved Apple licenced components contained in the SR6009? The support response you've received from them sounds to me like the less than convincing 'technical' reasons Roon Labs state as to why they are not able to (& therefore won't) get Roon to support UPnP/DLNA streamers. I don't know how SWYH is interfacing with the Marantz, other than it is, which suggests the Ethernet port will accept more than just the AirPlay protocol.įirstly, total shame on Roon Labs if they can't fix an issue with their software working with an official AirPlay supporting device such as your Marantz. I'm currently using StreamWhatYouhear on my PC to feed it, which does work using a PCM or mp3 stream, but involves multiple stream decoding / encoding in the PC, which is not good. Does the Ethernet port only accept AirPlay-compliant network protocols, or should I be able to send it UPnP or DNLA streams? If it does only work with AirPlay what is the simplest / cheapest way to get a lossless stream from Tidal to it? Resources at the TIDAL access end are Windows PC, Linux laptop and Android phone: no Apple kit in sight! I don't know enough about media streaming to progress on this problem. ROON support staff were unable to fix the problem, saying that the AirPlay function which the Marantz uses is difficult for them to work with. It worked for a few weeks, then stopped working. ![]() ![]() I have been using ROON (on PC) to stream TIDAL (lossless) to my Marantz AVR (SR6009), via Ethernet.
