BlessedPrince Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Has anybody here experienced Roon yet? I find it very complex to figure it out. There’s so many things to it. Does any one here use it? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbphoto Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Yes, been using it for a couple months now. Very impressive product IMHO. I'm still figuring stuff out too - it's a bit of a mind-set change from vanilla iTunes or Audirvana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlessedPrince Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 Yes, been using it for a couple months now. Very impressive product IMHO. I'm still figuring stuff out too - it's a bit of a mind-set change from vanilla iTunes or Audirvana.I’m on a 60 day trial. I messed with it all night long and found it kinda tedious. I’m very techie too. It’s a challenge to be honest. I use Tidal and integrated them and i found it very intuitive I also find it more complex at the same time. I guess I just need more time and hands on. I also notice the sampling conversion and I’m not too sure how it works. It’s either Enhanced or Lossless. I’m using the dragonfly black as dac. So we’ll see how it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbphoto Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Give it a little time. I'm still messing with metadata, genres, tags etc. Roon syncs with in my iTunes content plus another "hi-res" folder containing music downloaded or created outside of iTunes. Both of these sources are on a NAS device. I also had Roon import my iTunes playlists. Roon's powerful meta-data features - Focus, genres, radio, play-similar, favorites, tags etc - have really opened up musical possibilities for me. You can spend a lot of time reading up on obscure facts on your favorite artists. I am about half way through a free trial of Tidal. The integration with Roon is awesome but I'm on the fence about keeping due to its content. As far as sound output goes, I've been impressed with its sound quality and features. For SRC, I just use 'minimum phase and smooth' and compares favorably to what I was using in Audirvana - to my ears at least. I also used REW to create convolution filters for my various Roon zones that basically do room correction to my liking. The sound is awesome. I have an older Dragonfly 1.1 or 1.2 DAC that I connected to my MacBook. Roon found it right away and it seemed to work fine but I didn't play with it too much.

joshnich Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 https://youtu.be/2z1CaEvA0jw I love Roon. This video was really helpful in understanding some if the features. I have my cds stored on a NAS and the having the ability to access both my library and tidal on the same interface is really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJURASH Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 What about being able to play bit perfect DSD files on Klipsch DAC via Roon. I am not sure who's at fault of exaggerating their specs but it does not work. Any experience here with DSD Roon to Klipsch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbphoto Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Which Klipsch DAC are you referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
