Roon vs. Qobuz Connect

Agreed and I got around that particular problem by editing the metadata saved by Roon.

Edit with how to, in case it helps: In the album view, 3 dot link next to Listen Later, Edit option, Edit Album option, edit the Album Artist and save.

Hi @Sailor, Reference sorting by name, have you edited the sort settings? My album view is alphabetic by Surname. For multiple artists Roon doesn’t recognise them as separate names, it reverts to alphabetic but you can change that via the metadata edit I mentioned above.

I have. My suspicion is that I separated the two artists with a semicolon, instead of keeping ,first artist‘ WITH ,second artist‘. I first ran SonKong‘s tagger over that album and SongKong separated the two artists with a semicolon. This might have confused Roon. It‘s a minor glitch, the album sounds just as good even though it’s not sorted the way I wanted.

Sure that’s the basis for a solid comparison. Try JPlay too. Also with same volume the audible difference is noticeable.

The Weiss DAC I’m getting is also JPlay certified (in addition to Roon-ready and UPnP support), but I don’t really have a need for it. The requirement to have separate subscriptions for each user on the same system is a deal breaker (and I don’t really want to use an iOS app anyway).

I’m really into iRadio

I don ‘t want to change my hardware at this time (Roon Ready) and was thinking of trying out Roon for hiRez iRadio. Stations like Mother Earth Radio FLAC @ 192 kHZ

Native “Mother Earth” Integration Roon is one of the few platforms that has officially integrated Mother Earth Radio into its Live Radio database.

RAAT (Roon): The Roon Core (your computer/server) does all the decoding and packaging so less “work” for your Streaming DAC resulting in a lower noise floor.

Anyone input on Roon’s iRadio performance?

Thx

Yes, it does as advertised - full managed directory with ‘off-board’ processing & mangement of the stream.

As a NDS user, this means I can access the lossless & HiRes streams through Roon, played as a local UPnP stream, where Naim iRadio is limited to ‘on-board’ processing & the player’s hardware limitations.

When at home, used daily for the morning’s news etc largely through Chromecast type devices in the bedroom & in shower (waterproof of course)
