Made the Move and Not looking back!

I have streamed music thru Roon and Qobuz for about 4 years now.

My Innuos Zen 3 -Paid $2.2 new through a dealer-has been a great

product. Very responsive company. I watched them develop what is known as

Innuos Sense. A version of the Roon Product. 

Last week I said goodbye to my monthly Roon Payment and hello to Innuos.

 

After making CSV lists of the playlists I wanted to save, I pushed delete on

the Roony Tunes folks. Roon is probably fine for techies but the "No Support"

system they offer was frustrating for me. Waiting days to get help with no service.

Of course you are still paying for it.

Innuos Sense may only be available to those using their product.

Just a heads up.

OBTW- Many streamer makers claim Roon degrades the sound. Most 

end up caving to Roon just to survive. Linn cut a special deal with Roon

to avoid the quality compromise. Hats off to them.

@carlsbad2, pretty sure he meant Roon charges for you while they take days or more to help with service outages.  He’s lamenting there is no credit for the time the service is not providing what he is paying for.  Pretty reasonable position, it seems.  Jeffseight’s position I mean.
 

I use Innuos’s Sense to control qobuz and love it.  It’s a version of Roon like Pepsi is s version of Coke.  Not affiliated in any way.  And Sense is free but only available to Innuos owners.

On my system, Sense sounds better than Roon.  Other Innuos users I know concur.

@carlsbad2 Is there a reason to wait till your Roon subscription expires? Go ahead and start using the free Innuos Sense app now. I had a one-year with Roon and downloaded Sense the minute it came out in summer of 2021. I never used Roon again despite being paid up thru Feb. 2022.

@mlsstl +1, you covered a lot of ground there. Totally agree Roon is information-centric. That’s how it was pitched to me. Some love that which is awesome. No sour grapes here. Not saying one is better that the other for everyone. I love IPA’s but couldn’t care less that so many don’t.

@boostedis. I never even tried the dsp feature during the 6 months I used Roon prior to the release of Innuos’s Sense app. Reminder: my SQ comments are limited to my experience on one player brand only: Innuos.  But to reiterate, there are quite a few Innuos users who’ve also observed that Sense sounds better than Roon.
