Current quality of Rune

@hgeifman Thanks for the reply.  I think I've tried all of those things, but I'll try again. I like the program. I installed the remote app so I can run it with my tablet. 

A few people claim Roon sound quality not up to par, most don't have issue. My argument is regardless of music player being used, streams should equal sound quality of cd's played via a quality cd transport, or rips on a hard drive. I've run Audirvana and Roon, both are capable of this.

I’ve been into computer based audio for over 15 years. I’ve tried pretty much all the software during that time; Pure Music (Channel D), Audirvana, JRiver, Bit Perfect, Roon, and probably others that I’ve since forgotten.

Based on my experiences, I purchased a lifetime Roon subscription when I first became available.

I periodically try other programs, but always come back to Roon for its sound quality, ease of use, and integration with Qobuz and HQ Player.

“Is it reliable? Good sound quality?

@sls883

The answer to your query, YES! Roon got the best UI (user interface) and streaming SQ greatly varies on the choice of hardware used as an endpoint (render) and server.

The preference between Audirvana vs Roon is clearly dominated by end user experience. You will find people in both camps swearing by its superiority, based on their experience. In both instances, the bottom line is implementation and choice of hardware. Both software are capable of good sound quality. I would suggest that you focus on your choice of hardware and allow yourself to get fully acclimated to Roon. There is a bit of learning curve with Roon, once you do familiarize yourself with Roon, you won’t be disappointed.

IME, Roon offers the best streaming experience! 

@lalitk I have Roon installed on my laptop and it's running. I installed the program on my tablet as well.

Are there any particular settings that I should check? 

I'll do some homework and get more familiar with the program. 

Quick listen, it sounds good.
