I have not used it but yes: https://kb.roonlabs.com/DSP_Engine:_ConvolutionIs there a possibility to correct the reponse by convolution ? (like in Foobar2000, JRiver...)
No if you configure them all the same (i.e. how they communicate with your DAC).Is there any audible difference between Roon and Foobar2000 as players ? (also with JRiver, etc.)
You now have to go into the album itself to ‘favourite’ a track. So if you are in Radio mode you have to navigate to the now playing window, click on the album name and find the track. I think Roon have indicated they will return the heart to the playback bar - there’s been a fair bit of feedback on it on their forums.So far I don't know one of the UI changes they made. Used to be in the play bar you could hit a heart symbol to select a favorite song. That is gone now. Problem is that when Roon switches to radio mode or off screen tracks, there is no way to find the same indicator on the track list to do the same.
I am glad. I was tempted to go there and complain. It is not like them to miss such UI design issues.You now have to go into the album itself to ‘favourite’ a track.

Too bad .... can’t get Qobuz here. Spotify and Tidal will have to do

Has roon started supporting DLNA? I thought it didn't.DLNA device is not recognised?
That's my impression too.Has roon started supporting DLNA? I thought it didn't.
his is why you are having to deal with “computers” right now. We all hate computers too. If you want no-compromise high quality audio, you need top-end electrically isolated devices. General purpose computers are solving a totally different problem. RAAT aims to solve that by working with every hardware manufacturer, as well as providing multiple DIY solutions ranging from turnkey Android/iOS app to a bit more involved RaspberryPi builds.
If you can afford roon I don't think a pi will be a stretch .Not everyone wants or can afford a "Roon ready" device. I don't see whats wrong with a fanless PC hooked up to a USB DAC that is implemented well.

Pc audio is a bit of Russian roullette. I estimate I've spent 40 hrs trying to make my laptop drop out free, with 4 different dacs. I could write a very long diatribe of things that can and do go wrong with pc audio. I've had the luck to experience seemingly them all from ground loops over the usb cable causing bit slips (fixed by a doubly insulated ungrounded pc supply) to massive amounts of pc optimization: power options so usb or NIC never go "green" and cpu never drops below 75%, driver roll backs, disabling numerous services, uninstalling any sw that auto updates, disabling wifi drivers and hard wiring to Lan....., just to get dpc latency under control and page faults into a usable range. This is with a reasonable i5.
I'm not saying my experience is ubiquitous, but its not uncommon and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it or way to predict if you'll have that nightmare combo of pc + windows that hates real time music.
Its why I'm reading this thread, dedicated hw and sw without the nightmare of windows telemetry cutting out my audio sounds like a very attractive option right now.
I do find this puzzling. Over the years, I have had a fair number of devices, mostly fanless, running JRiver or Roon (and dabbled with a few others). I do not run any "headless" because I prefer having keyboard and mouse but ocassionally use iPhone/iPad apps. The storage is on a NAS and my home LAN is nothing special: modem/router, switches, CAT6a. Dropouts have never been an issue unless I force operations that are too data intense for the particular CPU. Same for crashes, freezes, pops: I have to force them with unreasonable demands. And I play mostly hi-rez multichannel all the time.I'm not saying my experience is ubiquitous, but its not uncommon and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it or way to predict if you'll have that nightmare combo of pc + windows that hates real time music.
Good point there. I had experimented with a high current source for both DAC and endpoint and found that either one was cleaner and quieter with the other one fed by another PS with independent ground.One valuable lesson learned was the sensitivity of usb audio to proper ground isolation. Local file audio was grainy and coarse (easy DBT discrimination but without pops or clicks) until the laptop brick was changed to remove earth ground.
How are your latencies to Tidal or Spotify servers?Local file play (foobar2000, USB drive or NAS) is now OK but Tidal and Spotify have regular drop outs. Memtest and system file check all clean, no apparent HW issues. Latencymon running for 3 hrs with the laptop idle resulted in windows "trusted installer" turning up 4000 hard page faults, windows search utility 1000 more, and a third unknown windows process yet 1000 again. DPC checker is clean. Vodka sales have notably increased in the greater Ottawa region.
