iamoneagain Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Upon rereading my earlier comment, I realize the term "hype" has a perjorative implication that I did not intend (at least not consciously). Roon appears to be a nice organizational tool, but unless it makes music sound better then it does not interest me, but clearly for others this is very important. Well coming soon, Roon is integrating with HQ Player, so you can have that process the sound output. So you'll get a great front end tool with an excellent sound player. Roon will also allow any file it can play, including Tidal, ALAC, to be converted to a PCM file for HQ Player to play. I have stayed away from HQ Player because all my files were in ALAC and I did not want to convert to AIFF (due to file size) or FLAC (due to iphone compatibility). Link to comment
iamoneagain Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Why on earth is there no iphone app for Roon? Just trying it out now but I dont have an ipad to control it. THats dumb! Believe they said one is in the works for a remote. Link to comment
iamoneagain Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Roon just released an update last night for HQPlayer integration and Squeezebox integration. They finally updated the Tidal section to include the Genres Tidal already breaks out for new releases. And the search feature finally has auto complete. There are plenty more enhancements. But for me listening to Tidal and my ALAC tracks thru HQPlayer is the biggest. Link to comment
iamoneagain Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I think Roon startup time is really machine dependent. It used to take 10-15 min startup on my old early 2009 iMac but now it takes about a 1-2 min on new late 2015 27" imac. Link to comment
