Why I Stopped Using Roon

Roon was my go to front end thanks to its great user interface and the fact that everything works so well.

I have recently begun exploring surround sound and whilst Roon works brilliantly with the BluRays and DVD Audio rips on my NAS, the fact it cannot stream multi channel is a gaping hole for me.

My subscription is cancelled and I have switched to Apple Music (via HDMI to avoid the Apple spatial renderer) and Plex.

Arguably a lot of multi channel music is ropey to say the least, but there are some really good albums too. If the Roon devs were to somehow offer some support for this, I'd be right back.
