Which sounds best? Roon RAAT or Roon Integrated AIR

[Confused]

Roon stated as much a couple of weeks ago on the Roon forum:

We have spoken with Deivlaet regarding this issue and provided them with technical information needed to investigate this further. They are currently looking into this, and we’re looking forward to hearing the results of their investigation, and helping in any way we can. We don’t currently have any indication that this is related to Roon generally or RAAT specifically, but obviously we’ll do whatever we can to get this stable and resolved for Roon users.


Although it’s a shame that Noris from Roon Labs support can’t spell Devialet.....

I don’t think you should tell anyone off for bad spelling Confused 

Yes, terribly rude of me, for which I apologise without reservation. That said, my own appalling spelling has greatly improved following the advent of spell check software.......

I note this thread has drifted a little off topic, although arguably this is a good thing as it keeps the poll "bumped".  I also notice that there have been a few "late" votes this week, which is good as it would be nice to get up to the 100 mark.

So whilst we are a little off topic, I would like to slip in a general question about Roon. 

Roon works fine in my system streaming to a sMS-200Ultra, it always has done.  However, over the last few months I have noticed some odd behavior in Roon, or maybe not odd, just very slow.  As an example, if my PC has been off for a few days, I can start the PC, Roon loads quickly, select a track, hit play, nothing happens.  I can then sit there scratching my head, wondering what is wrong, and about a minute later the track finally starts to play.  After this, Roon is responsive and works as it should.  It is just initially things are very slow.  OK - one answer might be that I need a faster PC, but the thing is that in the past it used to work just fine.  It is just some early operations after start up now seem epically slow.

Has anyone else noticed similar?  (or maybe there is a setting somewhere that I need to tweak?)
