Another +1 for Roon. Do you need it? Are you trying to solve a problem? Increase SQ? Get a better UI? Only you can answer those questions. But, if you're asking if Roon is good software, then yes. It's the best music library software I've tried by a HUGE margin - regarding sound quality, GUI ease of use, DSP features and quality, Tidal/Qobuz integration, library management, and whole-house streaming. The issues they had with 1.8 have been dealt with quickly, as far as I can tell (at least the issues I was having). IMO, the support staff is responsive, as well. People moan about the yearly fee, but it works out to about $10/month, a reasonable fee for good software. YMMV + YGWYPF (made that up - you get what you pay for)
To Roon or not to Roon?
I recently have tried the 14 day trial of Roon and I could not get Roon to sync with my Auralic Aries G2.1 LD Lightning app and after a couple of days of trying everything my LD Lightning app itself went wonky and started to skip tracks and not play. I had to reinstall the Lighting app and restart my Aries. I read online where some people just preferred the sound of the Lightning app as opposed to the Roon app. Is Roon worth the trouble and expense over the Auralic Aries app which is pretty good on it’s own. I spent a lot of time with Roon and it just messed up my streaming setup. Any advice would be appreciated.
