„
In the latest update to Roon 1.8, we’ve implemented some exciting new features, including personalized daily mixes, intelligent search, and a totally new TIDAL interface to improve the way you discover and listen to music in Roon.“
I thought it interesting that they did not mention Qobuz at all? I s there a relationship between Tidal and Roon?I prefer the sound of Qobuz, myself. 
Roon works really well- if there were SQ advances to be made, that's really all I'm interested in...

I don't think there's a relationship between Tidal and Roon apart from the fact that Roon has access to the code necessary to enable them to integrate Tidal's catalogue data into Roon's display and they have that same kind of relationship with Qobuz. It's just that Tidal has apparently made some recent changes to their own app/interface and Roon has had to make changes in its app to accommodate those changes. Since Qobuz hasn't made any changes to its interface there was no need for Roon to do anything in respect of Qobuz.

SQ changes, especially advances, may be our primary concern but if you're using Roon to access a streaming service such as Tidal or Qobuz, then it is important for Roon to keep their app up to date with changes the streaming services make in relation to new features the streaming service introduces so that Roon users can continue to get all of the features the streaming service provides for accessing music via the service.
