Roon - the next step?
#61
Agree with Petrik; Womaz had indeed already confirmed that he does not have the CI board and prefers Tidal's SQ.

All things considered, in retrospect I am not sure if my $4,500 upgrade to the Pro with CI and now Spotify Connect (as I can't hear a great difference with Tidal) is necessarily significantly better in SQ for the cost than my former non-Pro Dev with Tidal and Roon (with any upsampling and EQ adjustments), as Womaz is running with. If Spotify were much less useable, I would have given Tidal's SQ the benefit of the doubt, but agree with cereal killer; it also depends on the albums. I look forward to trying Quobuz when it becomes available in the US.

My main reason for upgrading to CI was based on my belief that you should minimize the number of elements in the chain to keep the source as unadulterated as possible. We were told that not only Spotify, but also Tidal and Roon RAAT could make it onto the CI Board. I could then worry less about the noise my Mac Mini makes and take out further variables. Let’s see if this happens!

So many factors to consider, all part of the subjective journey!
