Roon: everything you need to know

There have been a number of threads started, and hundreds of posts, asking 101 level questions about Roon.

This overview from WHAT Hi*Fi? is an excellent one. I believe this may / will be valuable to those exploring, considering, and/or starting out with Roon.

I’ll add that having enough RAM is important. If anything, push for more RAM if purchasing / building a Roon Core. My recommendation is to push for 128GB over 64GB should your chipset / motherboard accommodate this.

I like using the Roon EQ found in the DSP settings area.  I add 1.25-1.75 dB of bass boost from 120 htz and down.  I like the improved bass foundation my system delivers with this slight adjustment.

Wow you need 128GB  or 64 GB of ram to run roon? I never realized it was that memory intense.

Roon is a resource 🐷 pig. Seems like most of the overhead is in the library management functions but some DSP settings really adds to the load as well.
