Initially I wasn’t sold on ROON, another subscription, costs etc. After using it for over a year, Id be hard pressed to go back. The way it manages my music is on my NAS is outstanding and gives you a tremendous amount of control over the metadata. The information that I can read about the albums I stream is way more than just entertaining and is something I now rely on and enjoy. The way it interfaces with Quobuz is amazing using the ROON radio function. I haven’t used its DSP but that’s just another bonus. What finally pushed me to go with ROON was how buggy the blu os software was getting. It was driving me crazy. So going from blu os to ROON would be a huge upgrade in my opinion.
Would I benefit with Roon?
I use a Bluesound Node 2i with a power supply upgrade in my main system and a Vault 2i in my second system. The Vault has about 800 CDs and my old iTunes in it. They are both on the same LAN so I can access either and listen anywhere in my home. I stream mostly Qobuz, Amazon Music, and various streams through Tune In. I like the Bluesound App (on two computers in two locations) a lot, but find that it gets clunky and has to be rebooted from time to time.
