I gave up on Roon and was using iPeng because Roon just sounds bad. So I am a happy camper as Sense is way way better than iPeng as a control app.
But more that that, Sense also sounds way better than iPeng. I would easily equate the noise reduction of Sense to more than several thousand dollars and its free!!!
I just discovered off-line mode today, the benefit was at first subtle to me but now I recognize it and the effect is huge. It just killed a barely perceptible high frequency background layer in the music.
I won't go so far as to say it sounds analog but I think for the first time my systems sound leans more to analog than digital. Its just dreamy and relaxing.
With Roon it always had that digital edge. Anyone using Experimental mode knows what effect Roon has. iPeng was better than Experimental mode and Sense is better than iPeng and off-line mode takes Sense to another level.
