For quite some time this CD spinning only audiophile has been entertaining the idea of coming out of the dark ages, and entering the world of audio streaming. Thus far my head has been spinning with all of the different possibilities. The roads to streaming music are overwhelming. I've always been a believer in keeping it simple, which is why until I read two of your articles on the microRendu, nothing much appealed to me. I now see a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you.

In reply to firedog. Can't begin to tell you how many days on end I spent at the Roon Community forum. I installed the QNAP-specific package for the NAS from Roon's website. It is what it is, I don't know about your experience, but mine is as documented. No Roon Essentials. Rob Darling and several others at Roon have replied via email to my post and made no mention of my limited functionality with the tablet.

I made this comment earlier, but it seems to have disappeared (sorry if it shows up as a double comment): I'm running Roon headless on a Windows based server and and Android tablet. I have absolutely ALL the functions of Roon via tablet. So either you mistakenly installed the "Roon Essentials" app and not the full Roon app on you tablet, or: a) you just haven't become familiar enough with Roon to find all the functions; or, b) the NAS version is lacking some functions that the Windows and MAC versions do have. I'd suggest going to the Roon Community forum at roonlabs.com to find the answer.

I think you are incorrect about the Android app. I run mine on an Android tablet, and it has ALL the functions of Roon that I see if I run the Roon app on a Windows laptop. I don't need the Windows laptop with the Roon app running to see all the features on my Android tablet. So either you haven't figured out to run Roon on the tablet or you are running "Roon Essentials" and not the full version of the Android app. The only other possibility is that your NAS version of Roon server is lacking features and therefore some of the features don't show up in the Android remote. The best way to find out the answer is to ask over at the Roon site, the forum.
