Innuos and Roon?

I also use Roon with my Zen Mini and Zen. 

Roon interface is very easy to work with, too.

No problems whatsoever.

I used Roon on my Statement which also runs an Intel Quad Core processor.  Roon ran fine running both Core and Endpoint on the Statement.  It sounded a little better when I used an Antipodes Core as the Roon Core (Innuos recognizes the Antipodes Core as a NAS now and the Sense app seamlessly plays and searches the Core).  It sounded better running Roon in "Experimental Mode".  But Roon NEVER sounded as good as InnuOS Sense.

I never liked how the Roon DSP sounded with any of the above, that may be related to the processor which was chosen for low noise vs high power.

Sense is very stable and quick.  It integrates fully with Qobuz.  I am not sure about full integration with Tidal.  Its search function is excellent.

Oh, and it's free and regularly updated and the updates don't degrade SQ.  You can try the Sense and if it's not doing what you want you can go back to paying for Roon.

I am a life long Room member, but with Innuos gear the Sense program sounds much better.  I don’t use Roon with my Zenith 3 because of this. Sense is getting better monthly in terms of the interface and features, but still not as good as Roon in this regard.  However, the sound of Sense is so much better that I just can’t go back to Roon.  

I do not use DSP upscaling. Is that what you mean by better sound?

Unfortunately I have several different types of streamers Lumin, Ropieee, Bluesound, Innuos etc so Roon is the only option if I just want to deal with one app.

Good question.  No DSP with Sense.   Sense offers better sound quality because the software is less demanding on the Innuos hardware and designed to deliver the best sound possible with Innuos gear.  Just try it and you will love the sound 🙂.
