NAD Media Tuner vs Roon

Upgrade any Hi-Fi Stereo or Home Theater system to include Wireless Network Audio Streaming. The NAD Media Tuner (MT) connects between your Hi-Fi and the Internet via your local Wi-Fi network, and provides access to internet music without the need for a computer. With the NAD MT, you gain access to all of Spotify’s music using their Spotify Connect app with Premium service subscription. And VTuner™ provides organized access to thousands of internet radio stations from around the world. The MT is also a UPnP Client and can stream up to 24/96 High Res Audio streams from a UPnP Server (NAS or Computer). This App provides the Control Panel for the MT. It also includes a guide for network setup of the Media Tuner. Multiple MT’s can be used to link stereo devices together, forming a simple Whole House Audio solution all controlled from the App.
