One of my big fears is not that the DAC will get outdated, as everything after 2015 or so is really excellent, but that the software will.
I don't need more resolution, or higher bandwidth, but I am worried about the churn in streaming services. Like, what happens when Tidal and Quboz vanishes, and there's what's next? Will my streamer be updated?
For those reasons, I finally, begrudgingly, kicking and screaming, ended up with a subscription software service. I also feel I have some amount of power. If Roon stops updating in a way I like, I stop paying for it.
