In the latest Roon update (1.4) this is stated in the release notes:
"We’ve also optimized the RAAT implementation in the Core to minimize CPU usage and context switching during streaming. On the endpoint side, there some optimizations in Roon, Roon Server and Roon Bridge that reduce timing variability when passing audio buffers to device drivers."
So, it is just possible that Roon or Roon integrated AIR might perform or even sound a little better. Any observations from anyone?
I'm speculating that those using RAAT with an 'endpoint' are more likely to notice an improvement than those using Roon AIR, but anything is possible. I will give it a try when I get some time over the next few days.
