To me, its the perfect radio station, playing all of my favorite artists and songs, and seems to sense my current "mood" well. My wife and I are both really impressed with how good Roon is at doing this. When an album is done, Roon keeps the music playing and does a really excellent job of selecting complementary tunes from my library. My basic use-case is sorting by artist, choosing an artist, choosing an album and playing from the start of the album. I currently have 4,600 tracks in my library and am working on digitizing about 400 LPs and ripping about 300 CDs. The interface is not perfect, but once you get used to it, it is very easy and does a great job. With that said, I am very happy with Roon. I do not subscribe to Qobuz and paid the one-time lifetime fee to Roon. In other words, my use-case is different than what you describe, since I am mainly interested in playing my library and not using the setup to discover new music. I am running a Roon core on my Synology NAS, playing my own library. So my suggestion would be to choose wisely as app software is just as important as choosing the right hardware (streamer or server). When Innuos users reported that Innuos Sense app sounds better than Roon, I wasn’t surprised at all. IME, Aurender’s Conductor app is very faithful to original source and doesn’t manipulate digital bits like Roon. I don’t use any of the DSP features in Roon either. For simplicity and layout, I prefer the Aurender Conductor app over Roon by a mile. Yes, Roon has an advanced but complexed interface but when I am listening to music, I don’t care for none of that! I just wanna queue up music and listen. Majority of the hardware providers has taken an easy way out of not developing their own app interface and chose to adapt Roon.įor that matter, I admire Aurender for not giving into Roon and developed their on very robust and straightforward app that’s easy to follow. To Roon or not, it squarely depends on your choice of hardware.
