    Roon is indispensable for me now - and I think I had bought the lifetime subscription within 48 hours of starting the trial. Didn't use the whole 14 days.

    It seems to be that an SSD boot drive for the software and database files, and HDD for music storage is the best option. (Was a bit flaky with music storage on a NAS in my set-up.)

    For me it's the networked / multi-room aspect that's the killer feature. The Core PC runs my Marantz HD-DAC1 in the office system (mostly headphones), with a Bryston BDP-1USB as the "endpoint" on the big rig. Then Chromecast / Google speakers for casual use all around the house, and phones and tablets can also act as players for headphones, as well as remotes for music selection.

    Rejoined Tidal on the Black Friday offer to try out all the 1.7 enhancements - and I really like the suggestions and Roon Radio even if I get angsty about rented music having equal footing with my owned rips and downloads. It's very clever though.

    I got another month trial from Roon.. Kevin offered it so i accepted as i never got to use it as much as I would have liked due to various things getting in way.
    Very kind of him...

    Ive a better chance to put it directly up against the new versions of Audirvana and jriver 26.

    Crackin’ update to Roon 1.7 there, build 571.
    Ipad users you may need to manually update through the App Store.


    From the Roon blurb,

    “The latest update of Roon is now rolling out, with bug fixes, performance improvements, and our new Recent Activity feature!
    Recent Activity

    Roon’s overview screen has always functioned as a kind of “home” screen, providing you with easy access to your recently added music and new releases recommended for you. If you liked an album enough to add it to your collection, Roon has always made sure it’s close to hand.
    But we realize that not everyone listens in the same way, and with the latest Roon release, we wanted to make sure ‘overview’ was useful to those who spend their time listening to singles, playlists, or classical compositions, too.
    Now, in addition to browsing recent library additions, your new ‘Recent Activity’ will also give you quick access to all sorts of content you’ve been listening to lately, including albums, playlists, artists, tracks, and compositions. So it’s easier than ever to find your latest music discoveries and more.”

    Roons always had the History feature, showing what you’ve been playing, but it’s just a list.
    This is much better and until you start using it you don’t realise how cool it is.
    The best just got better...Use it all the time now,

    This latest Roon update is fantastic.

    I'd long given up on Tidal as a streaming service, mostly due to the fact that its 'recommendations' were at the opposite end of the musical spectrum to anything that actually appealed to me. I took the recent offer of £4 for 4 months just to see if things had moved on at all and upon opening the main application, 2 years down the line, I am STILL seeing the likes of Kanye West and Beyonce in the recommended list so I decided straight away that I would not be extending past the offer period.

    Then along comes the Roon update and the new 'New releases for you' section of the Overview page is showing me stuff from Ezra Furman, Norah Jones, Iggy Pop, Sparks, King Gizzard, Jonathan Richman - All stuff that I'll be wanting to listen to. That is EXACTLY what I needed from Tidal and it's a major boost to Roon. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a busy afternoon of catching up...

    Latest firmware update to my Lumin crashed it. It’s bricked. :-(

On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
