I wrote about my impressions of Roon's sonic capabilities in Windows. Jon Iverson and Michael Lavorgna did the heavy lifting with their takes on this excellent software. I know Roon won't appeal to all of you, but check out the review to see how far this software has come since its recent release. |
Does it run Roon?, posted on July 5, 2015 at 05:15:23 | |
If not, then for the purposes of this particular thread, it doesn't really count. I think you know perfectly well what Sprezza means. |

I am well aware that Roon is not part of Meridian, but Roon sure looks amazingly a lot like Sooloos Small wonder as Meridian stopped the development of Sooloos and these guys are the ones behind the Sooloos. The Well Tempered Computer |

From what I gathered up to now Roon is about GUI and meta data. Indeed the Sooloos heritage. A stunning interface light years ahead at theie time. There are some talks about cooperation with Signalyst HQ, as Mercman stated, you need a third party plugin even for EQ. Obvious it is pretty poor in the DSP department. Personally I do think $ 119 / year a bit much for meta-data The Well Tempered Computer |

Its a little more than just meta data, but like I said earlier, it's not for everybody. |

+1. They are betting on a relatively tiny well heeled customer base. |
