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.

Would I benefit with Ron?

+1 @dinov Having used Roon at first with a laptop and then w/ a Roon nucleus please be aware that the Roon nucleus is the far better way to go. The new Nucleus One will be $500 and the Nucleus Titan is $4000. If you clean up your ethernet (lot's of info on these fora...lots) you just might be amazed. Getting a Network Acoustics Muon, audio grade or enterprise grade switch you are there! Ditch the blue cat 5 too.

 

@zgas-music And by golly the Roon Labs Community like the folks here have helpful folks when/if you needed. Don’t know about BlueSound support but Lumin and Grimm support are excellent and fast.

I did a 180 on living in Roon once I got it sounding great...a lot of it was my back of the house network stuff. Ethernet, switch, filtration, DAC, maybe even a clock too gets one there.

Recently Roon added the ability to save tracks into my Qobuz playlists. No more jumping from one app to another needed. Nice!

Not Tune in per say but yes with an easy workaround. You can manually add a TuneIn station to the My Live Radio portion of your library.
