Roon tested means that devices have a built-in USB-DAC, ChromeCast or Apple Airplay, all of which are compatible streaming options and thus end-points for the roon universe. To get "roon tested", it also requires that the device has been reviewed by the roon labs QA team and thereby registered correctly in the roon software, for optimal streaming utilization.
Devices that have only been "roon tested" cannot take advantage of the full Roon functionality and sound quality achieved with roon's RAAT protocol. To stream with RAAT, it requires that the device is "roon ready" certified. The streaming quality of the sound for "roon tested" devices therefore depends entirely on the type of streaming used and its limitations.
