Does anybody not like Roon...based on SQ only?

I am in the process of updating my (Antipodes DX) server and it would be a good time to switch from using Squeezelite and Squeezebox Server to Roon.

My question is this, is the sound quality of Roon superior, the same as, or slightly deficient in some way compared to Squeezelite - Squeezebox Server?   Also, are there any other interfaces I should be considering?

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Thanks @astewart8944 , I went from DX to DX2 and now to DX3.  Shipping it out for the upgrade next week.  Your response is what I expected.  I will likely use this opportunity to give Roon a try.

Roon is wonderful and has exceeded my expectations both in SQ and features.

I thought Roon sounded great with a DX2.
Now sounds great with a SonicTransporter core and Naim endpoint.

You can always plug HQ player into Roon if you feel that you need something more. However, as of recent (I want to say Roon 1.2/3) all the DSP functions in native Roon sound outstanding. I don't use HQPlayer much anymore.

What if you are running everything as PCM and not using DSD, still good?
