Many thanks! Very interesting. I kinda think this deserves its own thread.

The SQ of Roon is certainly compromised - I don’t think SQ is their priority. The reason the Grimm MU1 sounds so good is that they actually dump a lot of Roon software and replace it with their own. So it’s a highly customised version.

Or better to ask how is Roon compromised for a dCS user connecting to a roon server / network via ethernet with no dsp? I’ve tried to hear a difference between Roon music streamed via Mosaic via Qobuz and I just can’t hear a difference. I’m in no position to evaluate their dsp however.

I have experienced minor drop outs when streaming from Roon to grouped wireless speakers.

Roon vs. others is the same for me also.

Perhaps there’s a difference for some people — I don’t doubt Martin hears a difference, for example — but nor do I doubt that I don’t.

Let the mud wrestling commence :smiley:

I think you have a network or hardware problem, coming to this ‘conclusion’.

Does your setup meet these requirements?
