Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith

I used to agree wholeheartedly with the above post regarding Sense 2.0 vs Roon. This is no longer true with Roon’s latest update.

@grannyring So have you found that Roon 1.8 with the September update is now on par with Roon Sense?

@grannyring Sorry I meant Innuos Sense!

I really do.  All is good.   The Roon interface is 100x better also. We already knew that. 
You can compare yourself going back and forth.  Use Roon in the Squeezelite experimental mode. 

@antigrunge2 When I had my Zenith Mk3 and when it was able to run as my Roon Core in experimental mode, I wholeheartedly agree! Squeezlite sounded clearly better to me than just Roon. But I could never get iPeng to work. So I never really used it. But then with crashes and hanging it became impossible to run my Zenith Mk3 in experimental mode. So I had to ditch Squeezlite. That was too bad. But that was part of led me to do a pandemic DIY experiment and build a NUC to run ROCK. It has been so good, so much more reliable, better Roon remote and DSP performance and with better SQ for *me and my system* I never looked back. I think another part of what makes my current system better is the separation of the server from the streamer. Roon 1.8 has been very good. I am very pleased. Thanks.
