Default Anyone using Roon with their Esoteric/USB?

I have heard from my local dealer that Esoteric does not support Roon Labs, while it may not be 'supported' I was wondering if it worked. Does anyone use Roon via USB to their Esoteric unit?

Mac or Windows? I bet Mac HS_2 driver doesn't work. That's pretty common.

Yes, via my Silenzio running Win 7 into my K-03x. Runs great, I am a convert from JRMC.

I *believe* K-03x is completely different, it doesn't require a special driver with Mac.

I guess it merely means that Esoteric did not choose to participate in the Roon Tested certification program (or Roon Ready for network players).

Excluding the old models that did not support the latest OS X well enough, I don't expect anything major to prevent such a setup from working.
