I need to update my findings over the past week or so. With the latest Roon 1.8 update the gap has closed quite a bit. Roon is close now. I still prefer the sound of Sense however. I use Roon to find new music, the DJ feature and for background listening. For serious listening I still use Sense.
Two great options! Easy to go back and forth. When using Roon I only listen in the experimental Squeezelite mode. That mode is by far the best sounding Roon option. Still a small step behind Sense in sound quality however. Sense is more open, nuanced and reveals more inner detail. Just more realism.
