I am now firmly in the AIR camp. I did some comparisons between Roon and AIR and every time using AIR I experience a better sense of rhythmic drive and musicality. It pulls me into the music, where Roon leaves me a bit cold. On flight of the cosmic hippo by Belle Flack, the bass guitar had more realism and the presentation more juiciness. The soundstage is wider on Roon and a bit higher, but deeper on AIR . I hear more fine details on Roon, but in the end for me, AIR sounds more musical, a better sense of music making. The great thing is we have choice, 2 presentations to select from, pick your poisen ?
