Hi
is it just me and my system or is there something wrong with midbass/bass reproduction in Roon 234? I've restarted all components in my chain but I still feel something is wrong. Pity it's not possible to install v223 of Roon to check if there is a difference.

What I heard last night was distortion in the midbass range. Words like 'unclear', 'ill defined', 'closed in' went through my mind. I noticed it first on track 1 on Chick Corea's 'Musician' album. As this is live it could well be the recording. It was rather late so I did not get to check more than a few tracks from other albums and I did not play at normal listening level.
I wonder if the new TCP transfer in RAAT is taxing the microRendu, but I see no updates for the mR. Could also be mains power related. I'll check later today...
I do not have the 223 installer as a separate download (I think) as I use the update feature within Roon. If I notice the same problem later I'll ask Roon support about a 223 installer download. Maybe someone here at Devialet Chat have the 223 installer?

A nice session tonight. Yesterday's problem is gone. Must have been a rare power delivery event or some other temporary issue. I did restart all components so that may have contributed.
The sound of v234 is certainly different with better front to back separation and a little wider stage. More organic and relaxed describes it well I think. I am relieved to discover that the problem just went away!
