Hi Dennis,

Smooth Stream basically pre-caches (in RAM) content that appears to be streaming… this is effective for drives that can be slow to respond to high data rates. In my case, the demands Roon placed on the pool proved to be too much for a small number of the older drives in the pool.
With regards to my system –
– Devialet Expert Pro 220 (amp)
– Audio Research VSi55 (valve amp)
– Unico CD Primo (cd player)
– Rega RP6 / Exact cartridge (turntable)
– Tannoy DC10 (speakers)
With a Denafrips DAC for testing online streaming from persoanl cloud drive (as per article).

Also as a roon user, I would love to know what the rest of your system is made up of?

I was thinking more about the cloud streaming from DX, if people duplicated their DriveBender pools via DX to the cloud, but if you’re going to release a cloud streamer app……….

Smooth Stream was not planned for DX, I was thinking more of a specific media streaming app for cloud storage.
