Weiss DAC 501 Mark 1 Ethernet Verizon issue

JJ thanks again. Daniel Weiss recommended JPlay as a Roon alternative using UPnP. I thought it sounded a little more transparent and spatial than Roon and, I got to eliminate the server box. Roon is also pretty great. 

Guys I was able to get the Weiss 501 DAC connected into my network but can’t get JPLAY to connect to the DAC. If I wanted to switch to Roon what are the mechanisms to do that? I can’t just D/L Roon to my IPad and use it thru that like my Quobuz app right? Daniel Weiss said he’s working on a way to connect the DAC to Quobuz directly but that’s not ready yet. if I have BluOS Node 2 I streamer can I use that in conjunction with Roon? Why is this so friggin hard? 

You need to install Roon on a regular computer (macOS or Windows). Once you have it running there, you can install Roon Remote on your iPad and control it from there. After you enable the DAC501 as a Roon endpoint and connect uour Qobuz account in Roon settings, it’s easy to stream Qobuz using the Roon Remote iPad app.

Since I already paid for a JPlay trial period can I do the same with JPlay instead of Roon?

thanks!

Andy….JPlay connects to the Weiss with the UPnP selection. I connect to the Weiss with an optical cable with both ends on short run ethernet tied together with two converter boxes….. initially, I did this for lightning protection, but I liked the additional clarity this hook up provided, and it was inexpensive, except for the ethernet cables. I suggest you look at my system.
