I'm very interested in a software program like Roon that will play my music I store on my USB drive, but the core software has to be on a computer or similar device that can be accessed. I'm not a fan of using my phone as a remote, nor using a tablet, nor my laptop. I don't want to use any of those items while listening to music. I want simplicity... such as my URC MX-890 remote. I use my 890 remote now when scanning thru music on my USB driver via my Panasonic UB9000. However, the interface on the 9000 is very weak. I only shows the folders and/or song titles (based on how you have them written to the USB). I currently have 450 songs on the drive, and scrolling down thru that many songs to find a particular song is extremely slow... and again, the interface is blah as can be. The Roon interface is very interesting, and the music is much easier to search and access, but I haven't found any device/source OTHER than Apple TV that will allow it's use with a remote control. I don't want to use my Apple device, and I believe it down samples the files to 16/48, which may or may not make a difference, but either way, I would rather have a different source. It would be really nice if Panasonic and Roon could get together and add Roon to the UB9000... that would be the perfect solution.
Anyone know of any such device that would work?
Even if it were a standalone device, as long as I could navigate the program with my remote control, I'd be happy.
Roon has a lot of partners, but I'm not familiar with any of them that might have such a source at this time.
