I did some testing a while back: Roon vs audirvana. In the past, audirvana was the leader of streaming software IMO and during my month of testing, I thought both sounded similar, but the interface was much better using Roon.
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?
