Denon/Marantz AVRs and Roon

[kurtkrum]

So I have seen 2 reports on the roon forums that the avr-xX800h AVRs are getting firmware updates that make them roon ready.

Anyone experiencing this? I've been waiting for this for a long time and have been ready to upgrade for a long time and want to be sure before I pull the trigger.

Are you only gonna have 1 end point or will you be using multiples?

I have multiple rooms/endpoints with speakers in the ceiling. I use blue sound nodes for this. But I have a larger dedicated media room with a 7.2 setup and I really want roon readiness.

The 3800 is roon ready but I haven't confirmed any updates for the other models yet. I use WiiM for all my endpoints. I'll check my Denon 4800 later today to see if anything has changed.

Thank you! The 4800 is one of the AVRs I'm considering.

I still have to use Chromecast with the 4800 FWIW, doesn't meant its not coming but as of now that is the only way I can use it (some say that airplay works) but I'm content with using WiiM as my endpoints.if you don't need Auro 3d, the 3800 should work for you.
