Direct Streaming

When connected to an ethernet network, the 8c accepts multichannel audio streams up to 192 kHz. No additional equipment is needed, as 8c's digitally sync to each other with nanosecond precision. Currently, both Roon and Spotify are supported streaming sources. Additional sources will be added in the nearby future.

Multi-room streaming

Multiple rooms can easily be set up using Ascend. Each room accepts its own individual stream from each supported source.

Roon

Roon is proprietary software that brings all your music together and adds data such as bios, reviews, photos, lyrics, tour dates, and cross-linked credits for performers, songwriters, producers, engineers, and composers.

To stream from Roon to your 8c room, you have to enable the individual 8c's for playback in Roon's settings. Next select the 8c room name in the main view and play some music.
