    Help choosing rpi4 digital HAT (transport only)

    My primary DAC for this transport will be an RME ADI-2 DAC FS, which needs to link to a network server several rooms away (currently experimenting with Roon). I will connect to the transport using coax (a media PC currently occupies the USB input on the ADI-2). Please note the ADI-2 does not...

    Chromecast audio or Digione for Roon?

    I’m using Roon for quit a while now, with a Chromecast audio connected through an optical cable to my Arcam SA20 (using the internal dac). I also have a spare Raspberry Pi 3B in a drawer.

    Suggestion Streamer/DAC/PreAmp as Roon endpoint

    Hello All, Any suggestions of good DAC/Streamer that works as Roon Ready Endpoint ? One of the important things for me is that volume could also be controlled via Roon so avoid playing with volume in multiple places. Also balanced analog outputs would be good. I'm planing to connect to a DIY...

    TIDAL HI-FI + ROON: some albums only offer an MQA version?

    Hello, I recently installed Roon on my computer and found out that some albums I've been playing are not being played in FLAC, but seems to be a downsampled version of the MQA version (see picture). I'm confused since I selected HiFi in streaming quality (and not master, as I've read it is...

    Fixed my iTunes library “date added” to work better with Roon library imports

    I’ve got an iTunes library that dates back for well over a decade. As part of my migration from using iTunes as my primary music player to using Roon, I added my iTunes media folder as a library for my Roon Core server. This works great, except I’ve noticed that the “date added” for the tracks...

    Roon Rock on ASRock Beebox

    I'm using ROCK (Roon Optimized Core Kit) on a Beebox (ASRock N3010 Nuc) and everything works great except for an optional, the original pc remote control in the bundle, otherwise it would be a perfect system. The only thing I would like from the remote control would be to be able to turn the pc...

    Roon Music Player and Library Management Software Review

    Hi everyone. This is my review of Roon media player. It is the highlights of what I find attractive in the software. As some of you know, my team was responsible for building the Windows Media Player which ships in every copy of Windows. Alas that software has been frozen in time for the...
