Citation :Is there anybody who doesn't like the latest Roon update (build 537)?
Citation :As far as sound quality, I'm not sure. I thought last night's session was a little more incisive and sometimes a little edgier than what I had been hearing prior to build 537
Citation :I listened for about 30 mins last night after the Roon update and then just went to sleep thinking I was not getting "involved" with the music
Citation :Interesting timing on the comments here about Roon's sound quality. Just a few days ago I switched over to the Squeezebox music player (sans Roon) on my Innuos Zenith. It really disappointed me to hear how much better it sounded.
Citation :Melodrama aside (and who are more OCD SQ super-fastidious than the streaming digital crew?) I’d agree the bass quality took a bit of a misshapen sideways step on the latest Roon version. Hope they get it back to being more gooder and more real again.
Citation :Actually the small NUC with Audirvana sounds Better to my ears in my specific set-up ! Roon SQ is now surpassed. And this latest release (build 537) seems indeed a step 'aside' or 'behind', but not an improvement to me ...
Citation :The people at Roon have done a great job as far as user experience and feature set but Roon has become so bloated with code that it has also become its own worst enemy. If you look on the Roon forum, people over there seem hung up on features. No one talks about SQ as if Roon has no role to play here. Some people still believe that with bit-perfect playback, it's just a bunch of 1s and 0s and that playback software could not possibly impact SQ.
