Sound quality of Roon

I am considering trying Roon.  I have been using my Bluesound Node but I am going to upgrade as I do enjoy streaming more and more using Tidal.  It is quite an investment to get a NUC or Nucleus and then have a separate tablet to control it all.
 

But apart from the cost I have read some people say Roon does not sound good.  Their streamer by blah blah sounds better.  Is this true?  For all that is required to use Roon, the hardware, the subscription and all, would Roon be popular if it made digital streaming sound bad?


I would love to hear people who have experience comment on this.  There is info on the Roon Labs discussion site but as you can imagine it is saying this is BS Roon sounds great.  I guess Roon as a software also has had updates, so maybe this is a thing that might have been true in the past?

itsjustme servers do sound different

 

we have sold and tested most major servers and streamers 

we have over 10 years of experience with these devices, 

we startred with mac minis and jriver

then aurender these sounded better 

we then went  to innous  these sounded far better 

we tried an sotm windows based server before this

then we found the 432Evo servers from belgium 

the 432EVO sounded even better and had the added advantage of being a modular and upgradable design.

differences in sound quality included sound staging midrange warmth low level detailing
