Roon’s partner ecosystem just got a little bigger—and more versatile. In its April 2025 update, Roon has added support for 13 new devices across its Roon Ready and Roon Tested programs. The lineup includes everything from high-end AV receivers and stereo amps to compact desktop gear and all-in-one systems.
The newly certified gear comes from a mix of well-known brands—Denon, Marantz, FiiO, HiBy, Technics, Orchard Audio, Rotel, and Shanling. And with this update, Roon now officially supports over 1,000 devices across more than 160 brands. That’s a lot of ways to stream your music.
So, what’s new? Here’s a breakdown of the highlights.
Denon leads the way this month with four new Roon Ready products, covering both home theater and stereo use cases. If you’re looking for an AV receiver that plays nicely with Roon, the AVR/AVC-S670H and AVR/AVC-X3800H are now certified.
These models offer immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, plus 8K video passthrough and room calibration via Audyssey or Dirac Live. The X3800H even pushes 9.4 channels and 105W per channel—plenty for building a serious surround system.
Prefer two channels over all the surround sound bells and whistles? Denon’s got that covered too. The DRA-900H (a 2.2-channel receiver) and the PMA-900HNE (an integrated amp) are both stereo-focused and support hi-res formats like FLAC and DSD256. They also include Denon’s HEOS multiroom streaming, so you can easily connect with other compatible speakers around your home.
Over at Marantz, two more devices join the Roon Ready club. The AV 10 is a flagship 15.4-channel AV processor aimed at home theater enthusiasts, with full support for all the latest formats and room tuning features. If stereo is more your speed, check out the STEREO 70s, a slim two-channel receiver that blends the simplicity of stereo with modern features like 8K passthrough, HEOS streaming, and multiple HDMI inputs.
FiiO’s new K17 DAC/headphone amp is now Roon Ready, and it's built with headphone lovers in mind. With dual AKM DAC chips and a discrete amplifier putting out up to 4000mW per channel, it’s ready to handle just about any pair of cans you throw at it. It supports up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256, and includes USB, optical, coaxial, and Bluetooth inputs.
If you prefer to take your Roon library on the go, the HiBy R8 II is a portable digital audio player that’s now Roon Ready as well. It runs Android 12, features HiBy’s Darwin-MPA digital architecture, and supports formats up to DSD1024 and PCM1536. Inside, it packs a Snapdragon 665 chip, 8GB RAM, and 256GB of storage—plus a microSD slot for more.
Shanling is making its Roon debut with the SM1.3, a network streamer built on the company’s next-gen streaming platform. It’s their first Roon Ready device and signals a move toward more integration from the brand in the future.
Orchard Audio adds the PecanPi+ Streamer—a compact, high-fidelity network streamer with a built-in DAC and headphone amp. It’s designed for simple setup and use, with RCA and headphone outputs and wireless control from your phone or tablet.
And if you like the idea of an all-in-one music system, Technics has added two options: the SC-C65 and the upgraded SC-C70MK2. Both support CD playback, streaming services, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, and Chromecast. The SC-C70MK2 even includes a built-in phono stage if you're spinning vinyl. Both models support up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256.
Finally, Rotel’s DX-5 streaming amplifier earns Roon Tested status. That means while it doesn’t connect directly over the network like Roon Ready gear, it works well with Roon via a connected computer or streamer. It includes a high-end ESS Sabre DAC, HDMI ARC, and a wide range of digital inputs, including USB, coaxial, and optical. With 25W per channel, it’s a solid fit for smaller setups.
If you're building out a home theater, upgrading your two-channel setup, or just want something great for your desk, Roon’s April update brings more options than ever. The growing variety means more chances to find the right product that fits your space, budget, and listening habits.
With over a thousand supported products now on the list, there’s a good chance your next piece of audio gear will work seamlessly with Roon. And with brands like Denon, Marantz, FiiO, and Technics all in the mix, you’re not stuck choosing between form and function—you can have both.
So if you’re already deep into the Roon ecosystem—or just getting started—this latest batch of certified gear opens up even more ways to enjoy your music your way.
