Many streamers, including those from NAIM and other brands, lack native compatibility with Roon. The Sonore Bridge Application offers a potential solution, enabling a seamless connection without the need for additional components – you can run Roon (and other Apps such as DLNA) at the same time as Sonore Bridge, on our servers.

Method 1 – Using Sonore Bridge Software (Network Connection)

  • Connect via Network. No intricate settings required.

Roon Control App Setup:

    • Open your Roon Control App and select the Roon system.

    • Add the Roon password; no need to set a storage location as it’s pre-set.

    • In Roon Settings, enable ‘Squeezebox Support.’

Naim System Setup:

    • Power on your Naim system and set it to the Media input.

    • Keep the volume low.

Computer Setup:

    • Power on a computer and open a browser.

    • Visit sonicorbiter.com and click into the Nova Interface.

Sonore Bridge Configuration:

    • Navigate to Settings/Sonore Bridge.

    • Your Naim system should be detected. Select it and Save.

Return to Roon Control App:

    • In Roon/Settings/Music, find a Network Player named Sonore Bridge, Nova, or Sonicorbiter.

    • Select the player; Roon will prompt you to give it a name.

Play Music:

    • Choose the player from the Speaker icon at the bottom of the page and start enjoying your music.

Method 2 – Using USB to SPDIF or a DAC (Hardware Connection)

Hardware Connection:

    • Connect to the hardware input on the streamer.

    • Connect a USB DAC or USB to SPDIF converter (Such as Sonore ultraDigital)

Audiostore Nova:

    • Go to Audiostore Nova/Settings/Roon Server Settings

    • Tick ‘Enable local playback to a USB DAC’

Roon Interface:

    • In the Roon interface, locate a ‘local’ player

Additional Notes:

    • To integrate your NAIM WAV library, the onboard SongKong option in Nova Apps can be utilized. Paste in the ‘Melco’ license option.
    • For highest quality use a Sonore ultraRendu or opticalRendu or SignatureRendu Deluxe with Sonore ultraDigital
    • For ultra-simple solution use Audiostore Digi32 to connect to Roon
