Come on guys are we supposed to pay $500 for metadata? Roon sounds like a good idea when you are directly feeding your DAC, the upsampling and other features inside Roon can then be taken advantage of. I am not even going to bother with the 3 month trial...with my Melco/Sms-200 setup all i need is the Kazoo software.
Yes just trying the three month trial, I have never used ROON before, can't say I'm super thrilled with it but just keen to see what it can do.
Right now I have Melco N1A via TQB USB to 130Pro Expert via Kinsky app, all working very well thank you.
But I am also keen to try the software ROON supplies (room correction etc) just to see if it is worth the bother.
I think for me it will be the new OS board allowing UPnP then I should be able to use the DSM player only option directly from the N1A or just use LAN via Kinsky.
That then leaves any difference, if there is any, between USB and Ethernet playback as preferred/better to the user to decide I imagine.
Focal Sopra No2, 130 Expert Pro with CI upgrade, Melco N1A, TQ Black USB, EWA LS-XXV SC, Atlas Isolated PSU, Ethernet CAT6 via Netgear switch. Melco LAN and Player CAT6.
