If so. How does it really compare?
Nothing has all the music. Spotify is a streaming provider that streams for the moment a lossy format under par for what the Gold Phantom can play. Roon is a computer audio content management software that is under monthly or annual licensing or can be purchased as lifetime use. It includes integration of two streaming services, Qobuz and Tidal, that when subscribed can be used nicely integrated in Roon together with your locally stored library. This allows enriched metadata use of local files together with the full library of the two streaming providers, given you subscribe to one or both of them. For me this is a perfect solution as the streaming offer of both providers is CD quality or higher (also MQA in case of Tidal, which is debated being better than CD). My Qobuz subscription used in Roon allows me to use all the nicely made rich hyperlink between artist, producers, audio engineers... Great to find what other bands your favorite bands’ sound engineer has mixed or what else the producer or e.g. Foo Fighters or Biffy Clyro has promoted. Nice to be able to start these explorations from your long time owned local library. That’s what in my opinion Roon gives you at a fair prize.
