I m not good at writing big note but enjoy reading all the above about Roon.
I exited Roon Trial last Thursday. Tried on my MacBook Air as computer and USB to Devialet. After trial version i tried Audirvana Trial / ofcourse iTunes until now, and I was not sure about the Roon Lifetime price point. I can clearly say this, I already miss Roon badly .
From whatever little time I had with Roon during trial period, my favorite feature is "love" "ban", and the artist thread. I mean when we click on Artist it will bring all the track where the artist is either Solo performing or performing with other artist. Really good as i started un-covering lot of track I never tried and started to see it in new perspective. Meta-data is very fresh. I like Metal data from Roon than my own.
Good help from hk6230 (Gary) in using Roon - Personal Note - Thank you Gary.
Could not wait any longer and fed up of analysis paralysis, and its very easy decision looking at other software streamers (Audirvana, ituns, Bluesound + many other), I bite the bullet and bought ipad mini 4 64Gb as remote. I will be buying Roon this week. I will use MacBook Air as computer. Will try Devialet AIR-ETH and USB. During trial period AIR-ETH did not work well as it was getting drops. Need to clean up my MacBook with all junk data stored to help Roon work smoothly and in "Dedicated" mode (is that what its called as )
Cheers All!
