What's All The Fuss And Big Deal About Roon About Roon Being A Must-Have??


I Have a Bluesound Node jacked into my dac and I'm pretty thrilled about it.

I'm happy streaming Tidal, Amazon, Napster and a ton of internet radio stations through my Bluesound Node.  I use a Sonos to stream Pandora.

I've even bought an 8 terabyte hard drive and connected it to my Bluesound and started to sample a few cd's that I've burned to it and I must say that I'm pleased.  It's all been pretty straightforward and painless.

I live in a one-room place, so I don't need a multiple room feature.  This is for a strictly a 2-channel rig.

It seems that I'm digitally squared away for music.

What can and will Roon add to this setup?

You’ll probably get a number of responses, but no matter what anyone says here, pro or con, no matter how much research you do and no matter what people tell you, the only way to answer your question is by trying it for yourself. (They do a free trial.) The reason is that it probably doesn’t *do* anything that you can’t already do. I considered it for a few years and couldn’t figure out why I would need it. It turned out I don’t need it. But I’m doing a trial now and I love it. For me, it’s mostly a way of organizing my music, but Roon makes it brilliantly easy. Radio, stored files, Qobuz--all in sight and all ready to go. Give it a try and see for yourself; there’s no other way to know.
