On the topic of Roon, I just got the update where they break out Roon Core into separate parts including now Roon Server. That makes sense but have not seen any of the performance enhancements Roon touts for this materialize yet. If anything it seems slower and buggier so far. So a bit of a stumble there so far but hopefully a short lived one. I still am a big Roon fan.
