Sound quality of Roon

I suggest the OP read the many videos and reviews on Roon and why someone would and would not use it.  If you want it’s features the set up a core and DAC.  The confusing part is some higher end streamers can be cores and DAC all in one.

i also agree with many here that said unless you get a super high end streamer then there is no sound quality degradation from Roon.  There is something to be said for a high end all in one unit with super short paths and all high end parts and isolation. How can you go wrong with that. 

I for one love Roon. I don’t do vinyl and don’t want to.  Roon is the best interface and it’s way of music discovery is second to none.  I will totally agree it’s not for all but if you want to explore it’s for you. 

I agree that statement that is the implementation not the software that causes issues.  How can the Alsace software have issues with person a but the vast majority do not?  I am on all the roon sites including Facebook groups.  It’s NEVER the NUC or Nucleus.  It’s always someone with crappy network or some old PC or MAC.  I support software for 12000+ users.  All different types.  IStandard install that works on 95% of the PCs that share the same image but the few that don’t which always seem to a VP or other VIP break it’s ALWAYS something on the PC. Drivers or something.  It’s a singe pc running many many apps and various things a user downloads.  Roon or any software writers cannot account for the 10 million variations out there.   If you like roon on your trial on your PC invest 700 and get a NUC loaded.
