I find Roon a pleasure and have enjoyed the interface for several years now. However, I recently tried Mcontrol (to tidal) an app that is recommended by my dac maker (Brinkman) and doggone if there wasn’t a big jump in SQ. I’m using the latest Roon 1.8. I might go back to Roon to read or find something but not for serious listening. There is no denying the significant jump in SQ. I‘ll miss Roon but love the fact that I got an upgrade without having to buy a new component.
