@daledeee1, I’m all about the seamless integration of my music into the usability of the software that plays it. Roon undoubtedly has the best streaming software on the market right now IMO. People say it’s too expensive. Okay then let’s do the simple math. Roon costs around $15 a month. So that’s $0.50 a day to listen to whatever I want, in any room in my house or away from it, from a catalogue of literally millions of high-res tracks and hundreds of thousand of albums to choose from, without sorting through my hundreds of records, tapes, and CDs.
I use a Roon Nucleus music server with its own Sbooster power supply. All that the little intel chip inside does is locate tracks and albums on Qobuz that I control from any of my Apple devices. That’s it. Nothing fancy about it.
