Who is Roon?

@thecarpathian 

Thank you very helpful comment.  It would also be nice if they could stream Netflix maybe the sound would be better.  Glad to hear it's a homegrown entity providing a platform for us to infiltrate others abroad.

I read Elon Musk is a big James Bond fan.  Hopefully he roots for Bond and not the villians.

Lots of alternatives to tic tok if banned so I personally won’t miss it especially if its a tool for Chinese propaganda as claimed.

Roon is owned by Harmon International. As American as apple pie. Please keep it that way!

Harmon is a subsidiary of Samsung, a South Korean Company, whose owner is second richest in South Korea and merely nibblin’ at Musk’s feet at present.

Oligarchs rule! Always have and looking like always will. Good idea to keep track.

Luckily Musk is OUR oligarch having immigrated from South Africa.  Lucky us!

Roon is excellent! It’s not just a layer on top of Tidal or Qobuz. It’s a beautiful way to organize your music, yes, but it’s also technically very capable. Allows you to separate the computer away from the HiFi rack, and RAAT is a fantastic protocol for controlling audio grade streamers, with transparency over what’s happening in the chain.
 

There is a Roon Ready device for every budget, including my Esoteric N01XDSE. Speaking of which, the native Lumin derived Esoteric app is nothing compared to Roon, when it even works.

Maybe one day there will be a better Audiophile library/ control interface, but in my 25 years of audiofoolery I’ve found Roon the clear winner.

Why would you assume that an expatriate oligarch, or any oligarch for that matter, has any national loyalties at all? Perhaps if money and power were a country.
