As to a one box Roon (core/streamer) solution that’s done properly, we’re talking Grimm MU1 and MU2, Merging Technologies stack, etc….all north of $15,000.
You ate not achieving that level of performance with a home built nuc or even a Roon Nucleus…don’t bother….
Current quality of Rune
I did some searching and didn't find any recent posts about Roon. I want to try streaming with my new dac which is made to work with Roon.
I'm able to stream with Audivarna which I had used previously. It sounds good, but there is a glitch that causes loud static when switching songs. After lots of Googling, I've failed to come up with a fix.
I'll do the free trial and try Roon, but I wanted to get people's opinion on Roon. I've read that the interface is one of the best. Is it reliable? Good sound quality? I've read that Audivarna sounds better, but those could be old comments.

Roon is functioning very well. No noise between songs, etc. The GUI is great. I like it better than the Innuos Sense app. I'm running it on a dedicated laptop with good speed and memory. No issues using it with Roon. My son and I just did a comparison. He felt that the sq is similar, but I give the advantage to the Innuos streamer. Things seem a little softer and less defined with Roon. That could be the fault of the streamer built into my dac. Idk. I really wanted to use Roon, but unless I have something set up incorrectly, I'll be using the Innuos Zen Mk3 streamer and it's Sense app. |
@sns If I'm understanding correctly, my laptop is the Roon core. My dac has a built in bridge, or whatever it's called. They are both connected to the network, but there is no USB connection. It works well, but I could swear it's a little softer sounding than my Innuos streamer. I think everything is set correctly. |
