Roon - 10 Things You Don't Know

I have been using Roon for several years and have a lifetime subscription.

When I meet fellow Audiophiles, I often ask whether they have tried various features in Roon. To my surprise, most have never used all the splendid features included with Roon. I am not sure why this is the case but it may be related to “discoverability” but there could be other factors.

For a while now I have been contemplating making a YouTube video that reveals some of these features that many seem to miss.

With today’s announcement about the next version of Roon, I am just in time with my video. Undoubtedly, I will have to follow up with another video once version 1.8 is releasd.

My video is my contribution to the Roon community. I am sure many of the experts here will know most of the things I talk about, but you may pick up a tip or two.

Nice work Chris,  I'm a regular Roon user but still found new info and ideas.  
One thing I've experimented with is the DSP for hearing loss.  I have significant loss above 3K but still love my music.  I have tried the best hearing aides and usually prefer listening without them.  I created a DSP curve to correct for my loss as measured in hearing tests.  I found that I can only correct for a small portion of the loss without it becoming annoying but just a 5db boost can make a satisfying improvement.  Roon mad it easy to experiment with.

Roon is for people who have no knowledge of the history of music at all. And can’t google either.

Roon is for people who have no knowledge of the history of music at all. And can’t google either.

And also for people who understand digital tech enough to take advantage of its extremely powerful digital streaming capabilities across networks and devices.  

And, really, for anyone who likes music.  It has its issues, but overall it's the best music software ecosystem out there.
