I’m using a Lumin product, streaming from a Synology NAS.
I found that I needed much updating to my music library, but am willing to “do the work”.
There is a native UPNP server app that runs on the Synology.
I looked at the rune set up and found it unnecessarily complicated, and I’m an IT person. Nothing in the sound path.
Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound
The purpose of this post is to put pressure on the Roon engineers
to make Roon a better product. How do I know Roon is less than ideal?
From a streamer maker who has the highest standards and
consequently refuses to go the Roon route. As he put it "I experiment with
my prototype and eliminate everything which holds the best sound back".
Sad to say he rejected Roon for exactly this reason.
I use Roon and do not want to learn a different, worse program.
Hence I want Roon to get better. Anyone listening Roon Folk?

@lalitk no don’t get me wrong made a marked improvement and quite happy. Just that streaming is not the preferred media in my listening room. Have a great day. |
What is going to sound best depends on the synergies with your existing equipment. My system is very revealing, IMO, and I found my Innuos Zen MkIII sounded much better with Roon running in experimental mode (one of the options they give you) than running Innuos Sense. It is a little glitchy running it from my iPad, occasionally loses the server for a minute and sometimes skips tracks, but the SQ has everything else beat - more detailed, more top end, more dynamic, more transparency, more presence. |
My experiences are exactly the same @dougthebiker ! This was my second time around with Innuos, in about a year, but I did notice the Roon Squeezelite Experimental mode is much more stable this time compared to the last time. Almost flawless |
