Roon Ready

The DMP-1 is Roon Ready, providing Roon subscribers with instant access to the world’s best music search and organization service. We added Roon capability to the DMP-1 because we believe it’s the most engaging, enjoyable way to browse your music. Being Roon Ready means that the DMP-1 transparently discovers and connects to Roon, with no network configuration and with bit-perfect delivery of audio to your DAC or digital preamp. With the addition of Roon, the DMP-1 delivers the power, flexibility, and performance benefits of networked audio, with the easiest setup and highest reliability available.

Conjure music from almost any device

You can browse your digital music collection using MPaD apps, which are available for iOS and Android phones and tablets, or through Roon by using a phone, tablet or computer. The DMP-1 has its own internal web server with WiFi capability, so you can call up its web page from any device with a web browser to browse your music and perform setup functions. If it can run a web browser, it can control the DMP-1. Lots of audio devices offer USB connections, but usually just one. We included four USB inputs on the DMP-1, so you can connect a couple of USB drives and still have room for a couple of USB sticks, too. Through either the DMP-1’s web interface or through MPaD, you can easily browse through all the content on all the USB devices—right along with all the content on your networked devices, too.

Fear no format

We built the DMP-1 as a true high-end audio server, so it handles the high-resolution audio files audiophiles prefer. It supports WAV, FLAC and AIFF files in resolutions up to 24-bit/192 kilohertz, as well as DSD files. When you use the DMP-1 with the DDP-1, you can use the I2S interface, which provides jitter-free transfer of digital music data. The DMP-1 also includes USB, AES/EBU and coaxial digital outputs, so it can be used with other digital preamps and DACs, too.

An almost magical upgrade

The DMP-1 includes an external DC power supply, and it can also work with the Alchemy PS-5 upgrade power supply, which has outputs to power multiple Alchemy components. The PS-5 maintains separate feeds for analog and digital/control circuits, with separate positive and negative rails for analog circuits, well as large banks of storage capacitors to provide smooth, essentially ripple-free power to all connected components. The DMP-1 makes accessing your audiophile-grade digital music files as easy as plucking music files off a smartphone. It’s all your digital music, conveniently organized, easily accessed and delivered with uncompromised fidelity.
