You can have multiple zones in other rooms and stream to those using your server. Your core holds your ripped music and the Roon Core OS, and that streams to your endpoint/streamer. Wyred4Sound makes a nice one, as does Innuos. You can run the Roon CORE on a PC/Mac, a Roon Nucleus server, or a 3rd party server-streamer like mine. I use an Amazon Kindle 10" tablet as my "remote". $10 a month for Roon, and it’s indispensable, imo.
I just started ripping all my CDs to the server. You can arrange playlists, sort many different ways, and organize your library. Click, click, click and you’ve taken a deep dive into discovering more new music than you imagined possible. Imagine Tidal paired with Wikipedia, where all the artists, albums, tracks, notes, lyrics are hyperlinked and/or displayable. It takes streaming to a level I hadn’t imagined. ) several months ago, and I can’t imagine giving up Roon-ever. What I also find interesting and hope it is not true, that behind all this equipment/software we tend to forget about the music - without it all of it does not make any sense at all.ROON! I’ve been streaming Tidal for about a year, and love it. I do agree with others Audirvana offers lots of control, if you need it. I still hear difference but it is not as pronounced as years ago, of course it might be my ears, but I'm still decades from retirement. When I repeated some of these tests less than a year ago I was surprised how 320 of aac has improved, it has to be a really well recorded/sound engineered to find differences. I could hear the difference between 320 or mp3 and aac files and it was 'sad' to find out that that I could hear the difference between 320 aac and lossless - it made me realize, it is going to be expensive. I'd done a lot of A/B testing between aac/mp3/flac/alac many years ago. iTunes improved tremendously from its baby days.
Out ears are also not a constant, they adjust. Previously tried most of the other players, but somehow even if I hear some difference in sound I come back to iTunes and do not feel I'm missing on anything. I did the same last weekend with iTunes JRiver for Mac, still did not find anything compelling to abandon iTunes, but I'll try again. Trying something new, makes us to pay attention to details. This last situation happens some times to me in bad recorded close mike women vocals. forum found iTunes to be an extraordinary digital player and they don't need any more.Īs Professor Scott just mentioned on this thread "Audirvana seems a tad brighter in the midrange to me", and I believe he is not wrong at this, since Audirvana could reveal with more detail what is hidden by iTunes from the recorded music it self. Third (the last but not the least), some few people on this C.A. Second, a lot of my musician friends (no all of them) listen more for the quality of the musicians playing, then the music execution (as players) than for the SQ of the music alone. If yes, you are right (to my ears) I also found there is not an incredible improvement on SQ, that I found like when I play music under Audirvana alone. This step (Audirvana) seems more dubious than many I've taken in the past.įirst, I don't know if you are listening to Audirvana under iTunes integration. I dislike the term audiophile as I dislike labels in general. I've been a musician and I've spent hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours (and many dollars) in the quest for pleasing sound. I say this in the interest of having a dialog. Are we SURE we are hearing an IMPROVEMENT? And we're not making a subjective opinion based on how cool, or how sophisticated the program is over iTunes? But if I (we) cant HEAR a difference, what real difference does it make? I'm familiar with the technical superiorities of Audirvana.
