Roon is snappy responsive now


Applied latest version Roon server for windows and app on IPhone today. So far the annoying slowness in the user interface is no more. It’s very responsive and snappy now. Hope it stays this way.

Immediately prior I received a message from Roon containing an update on the Harmon acquisition and new product direction to focus more on its core user group of music lovers Audiophiles, etc. including focus now on application performance, which is paying immediate dividends. This is a great start so far and I hope they keep it up as promised.

I run the core on a SonicTransport and its been really reliable. The iPad/iPhone app does appear to be a bit snappier now. I have my stored files hanging off the Bryston endpoint and jump back over there to play those. SQ on the Bryston might be a little more robust but only under extreme scrutiny.

Sometimes I think I will just give up ROON and run off the Bryston but every time I play around with the ROON interface I think, Naaaah.

 

I still get a chuckle out of how it keeps old Sonos ZP90s in the game after all these years. Got one in my garage and W4S moded one for casual/office listening on a AV installation.

 

Roon is very flexible in how its sound can be tweaked including applying user defined EQ and/or DSP. DSP is perhaps the feature now that I could least live without. I use the DSP for room correction and canned DSP convolution filters with headphones. These are game changers and big time $$$$$ savers used right or can also easily be a seeming deal breaker if done wrong, which can easily happen given all the options to consider,

I plan to dive right into that as soon as my basic room treatment is sorted.
