Initial Evaluation of Roon's Sonics

Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

I don't wish to rain on Michael's future review, but he generally uses a Mac for his music. Tonight I listened to Roon on my Asus ROG G501JW. A fast laptop that sounds quite excellent running Windows 8.1. Listening to Roon with some software tweaks such as custom power settings and page file turned off, I thought the sound was somewhat veiled in the midrange and high end.
I installed Fidelizer Pro 6.6 in Extremist Mode with network support and the sound vastly improved. In fact, I think it sounds better than JRiver with Fidelizer. Roon was just a shade off of the sound I am getting with JPlay and Fidelizer Pro.
I enjoyed my first listening session with Roon.
