I spent $450 on a ROON lifetime subscription in 2015 an amazing purchase. Here is what I use ROON for today:
#1 Running a Convolution filter for my small room system with big speakers in it. System sounds perfect. I know what not perfect is since I had that for a long time prior to the Convolution. I have done measurements on this too.
#2) Since last night, a Parametric EQ on the RAAL SR1a headphones to tame the harshness on my DAC. These headphones are uber revealing.
#3) Removed all ROON DSP for my Meze Empy’s not so revealing headphones
#4) Tidal (and last year also Qobuz) integration
#5) Multi room (or zone) support with access by iPhone, tablet, and computer(s)
#6 Musical discovery via recommendations. This is a new thing to ROON but an old thing to other services. ROON’s implementation is great.
#7 The GUI to filter and search. I think this a little annoying for my tastes but I also hate the Apple GUI’s.
