A word on Roon: Amazing.

[arglebargle]

I couldn’t be happier with this update. As an HQPlayer devotee I was honestly expecting nothing,  and what was given is significantly more useful to me than nothing.  I agree @miguelito, whether MQA on Tidal will supplant local files (or even Tidal redbook) is not really material to my feelings about the update...the fact that I changed literally nothing in an esoteric setup with many moving parts, turned on Roon and was unfolding MQA is truly impressive. I like the changes to album versions, so far. Some of grumblIng on the forums (especially about favouring Tidal MQA over redbook) but I dunno, some grooming and fine tuning is always required...for now! Roonies will crack that eventually too ?

 

The simple ability to identify MQA at a glance ought to please both camps. Seek or avoid as is your inclination.
