Roon Instructions
Powering up the PecanPi® Streamer Ultra
- Make all audio connections to the device.
- Connect ethernet or follow the Wi-Fi instructions below.
- Connect power.
- The first time you turn the device on it can take 45 – 75 minutes for it to configure itself, based on the speed of your internet connection. Do not power down during this time.
- Once the device configures itself, you will see a screen that looks like the one below. Take note of the links down at the bottom. You will need these to configure the display.
- Go to your Roon core and in the settings under “Audio” enable the device. Once the device is enabled you have to give it a name. Write down the name. In my case, I called it “PecanPi.”
- After enabling the device, select the gear icon and then hit “Device Setup.”
- Under “Unidentified Device” select “Identify this device.”
- Select “Orchard Audio PecanPi DAC” and then hit “Save.”
- Go to “Extensions” in the settings menu and enable the Spockfish extension.
- Open a browser and browse to the IP address that was on the screen in step 5. You will see the Ropieee welcome message; you can disable it and hit “Continue.”
- Go the the “Display” tab and under “Roon Control Zone” enter the name that you gave the device in step 6 (in my case “PecanPi”). It is case-sensitive. Also, change the “Orientation” to “Default.” Then hit “Commit changes,” and on the following page hit “Save Changes.”
- Hit the “Reboot” button when asked.
- After the device reboots, it is ready to go…
S/PDIF Operation
The S/PDIF input has an automatic switch over that takes audio from the S/PDIF
connection when there is a valid signal. When no valid signal is available on
the S/PDIF interface the device defaults back to taking streaming data from
Roon.
When operating from S/PDIF there is no volume control, volume control has to
be done by either the upstream or downstream device.
Wi-Fi Instructions
If you don’t have an ethernet connection next to the streamer, adding one is
easy with either of these products that many of my customers use:
TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Bridge and Extender – For 5G
TP-Link 300Mbps Wi-FI Bridge and Extender – For 2.4G
