Sound United LLC, parent company to Denon, Polk Audio, Marantz, Definitive Technology, Classé, and Boston Acoustics, has announced that a total of 59 Denon and Marantz products have received Roon Tested accreditation.
This enables audiophiles to stream music from Roon server or Roon Core devices to their accredited Denon and Marantz products to give a visually rich and easy-to-use listening experience.
Roon adds a new dimension of music exploration to user libraries using credits, artist relationship, genres, lyrics, concert/tour dates, artwork, and more.
A benefit to the Roon interface is its unique approach to TIDAL and Qobuz streaming integration, which gives listeners a cross-platform networked music ecosystem. Using the certified Denon and Marantz devices, users can enjoy their personal content libraries seamlessly merged with their high-resolution streaming favourites so searches and playlists will include content from both sources.
“A critical aspect of the listening experience is learning more about your favourite artists, song writers and bands,” said Brendon Stead, senior vice president of product development at Sound United. “It makes the music more intimate and alive.
“In the past this intimacy was delivered by the record or CD covers and has been missing from digital online music. Roon helped pioneer this type of experience in the world of streaming music. We’re very excited Denon and Marantz is now Roon Tested so our enthusiastic listeners can continue discovering more about the music they love.”
“We’re excited to have worked with the Sound United team to ensure the best possible experience of Roon with dozens of Denon and Marantz products,” commented Rob Darling, directory of strategy at Roon Labs. “Few brands in audio have the storied histories of Denon and Marantz, and we’re honoured to be a part of their future.”
