When Roon was introduced, I looked at it but couldn’t see any real advantages but once you have lived with it … I wouldn’t want to be without it now, easily the most complete software I have used.

itching to try Roon for a while, but I am all Apple ecosystem at home, and seems unlikely to ever be an integration with Roon.
I have also a good CD collection, but vast majority of my music is also available in Apple music and the little that is missing is ripped and available in the apple music library, nowadays my playlists are more relevant than my CD collection in my enjoyment of music, I like the option to listen to a song in stereo, and if I want in Atmos if available (I have a 7.2.4 system with Revel speakers). I know is heresy, but in most cases I prefer Atmos, creating personal radios is straightforward and expose you to lots of new music. But you know, why not, i will subscribe for 1 month and see.I have been an Apple guy for years, and a heavy user of Apple Music and Apple Music before making the switch. I did not like how Apple Music worked differently on iOS and MacOS. Also integrating my CD collection with my Apple Music library was wonky. I have an iPhone, iPad, and a MacBook. All of those devices are a Roon endpoint and work great. The friend who introduced me to Roon (definitely not an Apple guy) purchased an iPad specifically because it is a great Roon remote.
I will do so, using Tidal after some months (I had also Qobuz and Apple Music but I changed to Tidal when they abandoned MQA).I have also a good CD collection, but vast majority of my music is also available in Apple music and the little that is missing is ripped and available in the apple music library, nowadays my playlists are more relevant than my CD collection in my enjoyment of music, I like the option to listen to a song in stereo, and if I want in Atmos if available (I have a 7.2.4 system with Revel speakers).

Yes, although I don't see any advantage in this for me at all, because the WiiM software offers more usability in combination with streaming services than Roon does.Indeed wiim ultra is now Roon ready
I use two WiiM Mini and the Ultra with the WiiM app. Mainly with Amazon Music unlimited.I guess the folk at wiim don’t agree as the have put the effort into get room certified with is a painful process based on how long it
took NAD
Never had this problem. Stability and durability of connection and control has been a hallmark of my Roon experience relative to streaming app connections.I like how it crashes every day.
It's buggy as fuck.
Surpassed only by Dirac.
Slightly OT heads up: My primary reason not to move from Foobar is that you can use MathAudio RoomEQ free too. Something Roon doesn't offer (even at it's premium price.)I've looked at Roon a few times but as soon as I see that totally insane price I just walk away. I've barely payed that much for my entire audio setup so there's no way I'd ever pay that much for some random software. Instead I can just use Foobar2000 that can probably do the same with a bit of fiddle and not pay a single cent.
No, that’s not true (unless you mean a particular software package). I have convolution filters for each of my listening rooms in Roon. Measured and created in REW.Slightly OT heads up: My primary reason not to move from Foobar is that you can use MathAudio RoomEQ free too. Something Roon doesn't offer (even at it's premium price.)
I have endpoints EQd for each individual room. For free.
No. They removed it.Is this still the case?
