Who is Roon?
Lots of alternatives to tic tok if banned so I personally won’t miss it especially if its a tool for Chinese propaganda as claimed.   Roon is owned by Harmon International. As American as apple pie. Please keep it that way!   Harmon is a subsi... 
Who is Roon?
I read Elon Musk is a big James Bond fan.  Hopefully he roots for Bond and not the villians.  
Who is Roon?
No affiliation with SPECTRE or Blofeld. The world is safe!  At least from Roon.  At least for now...  
Who is Roon?
If you are an audiophile the DSP alone is worth the modest admission price.  Modest by audiophile standards at least.

Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu
Anyone in the area and interested in hearing F5s I’d be glad to talk about providing a listen. Same for super Walsh 2 (smaller driver, no level adjustments). I also run Sonus Faber, KEF meta, Vanatoo, and Boston Acoustics live for compare.

I have had DNM Reson ICs make the sound more coherent which to me was better.   Otherwise differences tend to be so minor I don't fret at all about it.  
Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80?
I am 65 and making more musical discoveries than ever thanks to streaming and Roon. I’d say it’s one of the best tools I have to help deter the effects of natural aging. Discovery of any sort helps to keep the mind sharp and engaged.  
The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!!
Hmm no doubt attention spans are not what they used to be in general but don’t take it out on the goldfish. I assure you that as you watch them they are quite focused solely on what to gobble up next, including you if they could. The boy goldfish... 
The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!!
The real reason "music is getting worse" is that some people think so. Others do not. That’s it in a nutshell. Some people thinking so is not enough to make it reality for all. Not even just with music. There is a significant "cult mindset" ou... 
Aurender a1000 impressions vs Eversolo A6 and Cambridge Cxn100
Well if the expensive streamer didn’t “sound better” what reason would there be to buy it? “Build quality” might do it for some. Quality is quality. Sound is just one aspect of quality. I’m more into the sound quality personally. Features and f...
