Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound


The purpose of this post is to put pressure on the Roon engineers

to make Roon a better product. How do I know Roon is less than ideal?

From a streamer maker who has the highest standards and 

consequently refuses to go the Roon route. As he put it "I experiment with

my prototype and eliminate everything which holds the best sound back".

Sad to say he rejected Roon for exactly this reason.

I use Roon and do not want to learn a different, worse program.

Hence I want Roon to get better. Anyone listening Roon Folk?

What is going to sound best depends on the synergies with your existing equipment. 

My system is very revealing, IMO, and I found my Innuos Zen MkIII sounded much better with Roon running in experimental mode (one of the options they give you) than running Innuos Sense.  It is a little glitchy running it from my iPad, occasionally loses the server for a minute and sometimes skips tracks, but the SQ has everything else beat - more detailed, more top end, more dynamic, more transparency, more presence.
