ROON - EQ any good?

Folks,

I'm currently using a Raspberry Pi with the old squeezebox based system for streaming my digital library to my DAC.

I'm thinking of switching to Roon.  I understand Roon has some EQ features.  I'm getting rid of a old Z-systems RDP-1 digital preamp/eq (one reason, room on my rack used up) which is transparent in it's EQ operations, and I'm hoping that the Roon EQ would be of similar quality in terms of adding a little dip here or there with no other hits to sound quality.

Anyone have experience with using the Roon EQ or it's technical merits?

Thanks!
prof

Roon is used daily in my house not just to listen to my digital recordings as well as streaming via tidal and URL defined radio stations we prefer, but also to redirect music to other active BlueOS speakers in other rooms. The interface is a joy compared to others, and the EQ option in DSP is comprehensive.

I use Roon to manage my complete digital library via ethernet NAS. There is no apparent degradation in sound (for digital), even on a streaming service. It has a comprehensive support network who are continually working with both Manufacturers and Music services to widen its support.

You can test is out 30 days free but mind that is may expect to organise management of your music library. It will not touch your files, but creates it's own database of your library and metadata.

Cheers A.

Welcome. I understand that you will give the product/software your due diligence as i did. i had tries a number of digital software packages/products before settling on Roon. I have enjoyed its controllability from iPad or Surface wirelessly from any part of the house.

if there was a gripe, it will not change sides of records on my turntable. ;)
