I am the go poster. Another big question. I listen to some FM stations using Tune In. Is that compatible with Roon?
Would I benefit with Roon?
I use a Bluesound Node 2i with a power supply upgrade in my main system and a Vault 2i in my second system. The Vault has about 800 CDs and my old iTunes in it. They are both on the same LAN so I can access either and listen anywhere in my home. I stream mostly Qobuz, Amazon Music, and various streams through Tune In. I like the Bluesound App (on two computers in two locations) a lot, but find that it gets clunky and has to be rebooted from time to time.

@adeep42 I used Roon for quite a while (I have a lifetime subscription). It has an excellent interface and more bells and whistles than any other music management system that I've used. It had more features than I needed, but that's another story. About 5 or 6 years ago, I started using the Innous Sense app and stopped using Roon in my listening room. IMHO, Sense's SQ is noticeably better than Roon's. I still use Roon but moved Roon Core from my Innous Zenith to a Mac Mini. I now use Roon for my whole house music needs, connecting Roon to Airplay speakers in almost every room in the house and the backyard. Roon is a great product, and you can't go wrong with it. I just found something I like better (and Sense is free!). |
Roon is a game changer for me, and I use bluesound node 2i as well as multiple cheap streaming devices scattered around the house. Without it, I found using BluOS or the streaming service app (Qobuz, Tidal , Spotify) to be clutsy and confusing when looking for music to play. Roon’s integration of my server files with streaming service libraries completely fixes how I find music, and finding new music is a breeze. |
