Roon 1.8

@yyzsantabarbara 

Interesting!  I have a Raspberry Pi that I have used as a Roon player, I need to update it and give it a go.  Thanks!

@allane  The changes in SQ surprised me. I was not expecting any SQ changes. 

Significant (as in most noticeable): More body, weight and impact.

Cleaner / more transparent / more opened up.

An additional ease / flow to the music. 

I need to listen more to get a feel for whether there are aspects lessened.

Roon has really done something special with this update. Very pleased with it sonically and content wise. 

Update works great for me on all devices. 

Had a great listening session last night but I didn't think to attribute the SQ to any Roon improvement; just credited a couple of good recordings that I happened to choose. I'll listen more closely for any perceived improvement from 1.8.

The UX is slick but mostly familiar and intuitive. I need to dive into the new Focus feature some more; it's promising accordingly to a couple of youtube vids I've seen from beta testers. Cheers,
Spencer
