Beosound 2 - Roon RAAT question

17 replies

Has anyone here tried connecting a Roon bridge to the line-in of Beosound 2 to make it Roon RAAT compatible?

 

Love the look of Beosound 2 but not Roon Ready is a shame as all my other end points are RAAT compatible and capable of hi-res streaming so wondering if a Roon bridge such as Bluesound Node 2i would work well with Beosound 2. Like the one box solution of Node 2i but Pi based streamer could work too? Any quirks in the implementation of line-in on the Beosound 2 side to take note of etc.? 

 

Thanks in advance all

Try CC on your BS2. That would be the easiest way.

 

Thanks - may indeed be a solution. Downside is that as Chromecast end point it cannot group with any other zones nearby. Hence the question on a Roon Bridge connected to the line-in.

cheap solution: Pi with Hifiberry hat. Connect spdiff or rca to the BS2

It would be really great if B&O would offer Roon RAAT / Roon ready!

Yep - have a Digi+ Pro for that. Needs a small power supply (won’t be too clean but most should work). Question is then whether it all works on the BS2 side, ie no quirks such as having to push a button somewhere to change audio source, or playback somehow not gapless, etc., before I go out and find a BS2 (on the cheap)?
