![]() I don't want all the violins to merge into one. I want to be able to hear where each instrument is in a chamber orchestra. The recordings are generally minimally miced with the microphones arranged and positioned to hear natural imaging. Chamber orchestra recordings can be a good demo for this. I like to be able to hear where sounds are. I would also say that roon is a bit different then other player eco systems and one does need to approach network + server with some forethought.When I listen to different filters (and different DACs) I tend to listen more for layering and separation and imaging location ability in 3D and the ability to play sounds both close and far. ![]() The advantages over other players as it relates to roon, will really come down indiv preferences, users home network, network gear as a whole and general workflow. ![]() There are countless examples of this throughout roon community threads. To that end, the value of any player will be a very individual preference and what works flawlessly and “perfectly” for one individual may be the total opposite for another. ![]() There is no right/wrong here, just different approaches. Others have more complex setups and want to squeeze every once of quality from their setup. However, streaming ain’t going away and will continue to mature and get better.Īgree or disagree, I also think there are different types of users - some are fine with “whatever” / sounds good enough / plug n play. Some still prefer local over streaming (myself included). Many of us started with large local libraries and streaming wasn’t really a thing yet. Playback has changed quite a bit in the last 5yrs and in some cases very significantly (source, wkst/upstream delivery). Many of the points discussed here already have been pointed out in countless similar threads. I think many existing users, especially ones that got in on lifetime early, its difficult to have the same perspective as someone new/considering roon/just starting out/building a playback system. This is coming from someone who is very much at the beginning of that learning experience.Ĭompletely happy with my annual sub I just purchased. The best thing you can do is play with it and learn the rich features as you get more experienced with it. I rarely get a recommendation of an artist I haven’t heard of, but the combination of Roon’s integration of streaming services and my home library lets me harness the recommendations as reminders, really, and to build wide-ranging queues on the fly.įinally, the ability to follow the delivery of each track and assure myself that I’m getting bit-perfect, lossless delivery of all my music is interesting at first and ultimately addictive. Third, I can use Roon across my various different systems - my KEF LSX bedroom speakers, my Audioengine workspace speakers, my Sonos speakers in various rooms, and my KEF LS50 Wireless ii speakers (can’t wait for them to be certified as Roon Ready).įourth, the recommendations and annotations are valuable. Second, the integration of my small hi-res library allows me to supplement my streaming services easily and seamlessly. ![]() Then all of a sudden the advantages just fell into place and were plain as day:įirst, Roon let’s me search across Qobuz and Tidal so that I can find the best quality version of any track to play. I’m extremely new to Roon, and for a large part of my four-month trial I just didn’t get it, didn’t see the value. ![]()
