Control4 system

SPOTIFY

Spotify Connect can now be used from Favaar59 or later firmware. This allows you to select and Play your Spotify music on your Linn DS/DSM players and use the internal volume control on the Linn DS/DSM. This is web controlled and if your LInn DS/DSM has been paired with your Spotify account you will be able to control even if you are not on the same ethernet network.

ROON

The Linn DS/DSM requires Davaar63 or later to work with Roon V1.5 and above.

On Linn DS proxy setups, Linn DS with Linn Kontrol preamplifer connected with RS232, the Roon volume control will not control the Linn Kontrol volume. This will only work with Linn DSM or Linn DS with internal volume control disabled.
A Roon HUB is required in your network system to allow Roon to control your Linn DS/DSM.
ENABLE the Linn DS/DSM player in the Roon - Settings - Audio - NETWORKED section.
