Interesting development at MBL as they are to introduce ROON modules for MBL DAC's and CD Players
I must say that my introduction to the Noble and Corona line of MBL electronics was quite the pleasant surprise. For their respective price ranges they offer exceptional value and are highly recommended to audition. Being able to add ROON integration certainly ups the ante.
It think it is an excellent move on their part.
Focus on the hardware and let ROON develop the software side.
