Who is Roon?

This is an organization that has developed software that consists of a Interface overlay to keep track of Music from streaming services. And create narratives about tons of albums. It’s amazing in all that it does. I have a lifetime membership.

They have a forum that provides assistance from others including all kinds of technical service which is really challenging to deal with should you have problems. They don’t offer phone service.

my question is is this some operation that operates out of someone’s basement? Do they employ thousands of people? Is it a nonprofit organization? Are they doing well financially? Is there a Mr. Roon?

Who are these people that have coordinated this service. Does anybody know anything about this organization?

Roon is excellent! It’s not just a layer on top of Tidal or Qobuz. It’s a beautiful way to organize your music, yes, but it’s also technically very capable. Allows you to separate the computer away from the HiFi rack, and RAAT is a fantastic protocol for controlling audio grade streamers, with transparency over what’s happening in the chain.
 

There is a Roon Ready device for every budget, including my Esoteric N01XDSE. Speaking of which, the native Lumin derived Esoteric app is nothing compared to Roon, when it even works.

Maybe one day there will be a better Audiophile library/ control interface, but in my 25 years of audiofoolery I’ve found Roon the clear winner.
