Roon is snappy responsive now
Roon is very flexible in how its sound can be tweaked including applying user defined EQ and/or DSP. DSP is perhaps the feature now that I could least live without. I use the DSP for room correction and canned DSP convolution filters with headpho... 
Qobuz Issues?
They might have broke it with an update.  One user reported rolling back to a previous version via testflight and got it working.   
Qobuz Issues?
Mexico was out as well. Be interesting to know if they have hardware installations that are partitioned by region internally.  Have trouble with a server room and lose specific regions across the globe

Transport Recommendations
Check the post on the Rotel.  It can only function as a CD player or standalone DAC.  Not just as a transport.  
Transport Recommendations
I like this CD player. It can function as a stand alone Wolfson DAC or CD Player/DAC or just a transport. It could function as a backup DAC if you decide to upgrade and sell current unit while searching for another or if current unit dies. Little ...

Bought pair of Dynaudio Evoke 10s without audition But I had Audition other Dynaudio at RMAF and new they were good and what I liked.  Hooked them up to my AV system and thought they sounded a bit thin. Moved them to my main system where there is ...
