To ROON or not to ROON ?


I have read a lot about upgrades from a blue sound vault of which I have. I have considered the rose, aurender, among others. The first question I have is Roon worth having ? I am a qobuz subscriber and wonder if Roon will make a substantial difference. As far as I know Aurender does not support Roon. Anyone with Room experience ?

THX for the feedback

I'm sure some of you had seen the price increases below. I've tried Roon out a few times and currently debating whether I should spring for the lifetime subscription before the 1st of January. Music discovery is extremely high on the priority list for me. Roon's algorithms in identifying similar artists to your musical tastes, as well as the metadata that it provides the listener, seem to be better than Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Quboz, and BluOS platforms IMHO.

Question(s): this is the second Roon price increase on all levels, correct? Anyone know the previous lifetime subscription price? 

When we launched Roon, we had a simple mission: build the ultimate music player for music fanatics.

And what a journey it’s been. Every day, hundreds of thousands of customers use Roon 2.0 and Roon ARC to power their listening experiences, both at home and on the road. But we’re not standing still. We’ve got big plans for the future.

To continue supporting this mission, we’re changing our prices.

On January 1st, 2023, the price of a monthly subscription will change to $14.99/mo.

We're also changing the prices of our yearly and lifetime subscriptions on January 1st, 2023. The yearly subscription will change to $12.49/month, billed annually, and the lifetime subscription will change to $829.99.

If you'd like to switch to a yearly subscription at the lower price or a lifetime subscription at the lower price, visit your account page and change your billing before your next charge.

We want to continue to build a better, more inspiring music player for everyone. This change ensures that we continue to give you a best-in-class listening experience.

Thank you for choosing Roon — we hope you stay with us for years to come. We look forward to showing you what we have in store.

@classdstreamer definitely debatable - yet I agree that out of all the streaming platforms (Tidal, Quboz, Deezer, Amazon), Spotify's music discovery is above and beyond without question.

Stopping subscriptions for multiple providers and only having one subscription is definitely appealing - I currently have Quboz and Spotify. In respect to Spotify, I also appreciate their deep catalogue and ability to search other members' playlists which are often better than mine, and much better than any of the platforms' playlists. I know Tidal is trialing this functionality as we speak.
