Qobuz integration/SACD iso playback?

Help and Support Help

So I’m about to get an Orchard audio pecan pi+ and I have the option of several OS’s to install and I’m probably going to choose Volumio. Right now I’m using Roon and I know it can be used as an endpoint in V… But my main goal was to just simply stream Qobuz in the highest resolution (i know it requires Premium for Native) and run a couple internet radio stations. But I had a couple of specific questions:

  1. I have a lot of SACD discs backed up to ISO files. Can volumio read/catalog/play those either natively or with a plugin? J River & Audirvana…can but sadly Roon cannot.

  2. Does the OS have TuneIn radio - and the specific Dutch station “pureclassix” in FLAC? I can listen to that eclectic mix forever and the sound is excellent.

  3. Is it true if you install the Roon plug-in that you lock out all other features of Volumio?

Shame I didn’t get this while they had the three tier pricing plan… All I would need it would be on the middle tier. Now the Premium plan doesn’t compare too favorably with USD conversion & while its still not ridiculous Roon cost…it’s getting up there. But depending on the answers above, the cost may certainly be worth it.

Thanks!

You can play SACD if you extract to DSF files from ISO. Doesn’t work directly from ISO file.

That’s what I thought may be the case. What about Roon integration…does it “take over” everything else like I heard when you set it up as a Roon bridge? All the same options & resolutions (RAAT use) as if running Roon directly?
