fynnegan: Thanks for sparing me the ignominy and embarrassment of outing myself as a Roon user. I foolishly thought that something that so elegantly enhanced and improved my listening experience was somehow worth using. But thanks to your penetrating analysis, I realize now it’s just for wusses, and totally lame. Interestingly enough, I ran into a hipster earlier today who explained to me (whether ironically or unironically, I can’t be sure) that real men never use the internet. They just look at the raw binary data of their music files to determine the title, artist, label, cover art, year of recording, engineer, and sometimes even the producer’s girlfriend. This is the lofty goal I now aspire to: no more Roon for me. Thanks for showing me the light! |
Roon is for people who have no knowledge of the history of music at all. And can’t google either. And also for people who understand digital tech enough to take advantage of its extremely powerful digital streaming capabilities across networks and devices. And, really, for anyone who likes music. It has its issues, but overall it's the best music software ecosystem out there. |
Nice work Chris, I'm a regular Roon user but still found new info and ideas. One thing I've experimented with is the DSP for hearing loss. I have significant loss above 3K but still love my music. I have tried the best hearing aides and usually prefer listening without them. I created a DSP curve to correct for my loss as measured in hearing tests. I found that I can only correct for a small portion of the loss without it becoming annoying but just a 5db boost can make a satisfying improvement. Roon mad it easy to experiment with. |
