Electrocompaniet Joins the Roon Ready Family
Electrocompaniet has announced that no fewer than eight of its products have just received Roon Ready certification.
Great news for owners and prospective owners of the Norwegian brand's streaming products as a significant number of them are now Roon Ready, which means easy access to Roon's intuitive user interface and engaging digital audio system.
Being Roon Ready means that all Electrocompaniet products with the EC Software Engine will automatically discover and connect to Roon without any configuration necessary. Getting Roon in their update are Electrocompaniet's ECI6DX and ECI6DX-MKII streaming integrated amplifiers, ECM-1 and ECM1-MKII high-end streaming DACs, Tana SL-1 and Tana SL-2 all-in-one streaming speakers, and the Rena S-1 wireless streamer and Rena SA-1 wireless streaming amplifier.
Roon not only enables you to organise and search your own networked music library but also the streaming services that you subscribe to, such as TIDAL and Qobuz. Furthermore, its clear magazine-style layout includes artist biographies and photos, song and album credits, reviews, lyrics, tour dates, and more. Finally, Roon is also a multi-room, multi-user networked audio platform offering bit-perfect playback, DSD and PCM upsampling, multichannel support, and Signal Path display.
What we think?
We are big fans of the Roon system and are delighted to see Electrocompaniet joining the ever-increasing Roon Ready family. Suppose you have a decent-sized digital music library on NAS or elsewhere on your home network and subscribe to the TIDAL and/ or Qobuz hi-res audio streaming services. In that case, we reckon Roon is a no-brainer as it brings all of that effortlessly together. So, from a single song search, you get results from your library and the streamers. You also get easy control of all your other Roon-compatible zones throughout your home. Version 1.8 has made Roon even better, too!

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
