@audiotroy , I don’t consider the Innuous Zenith to be computer.. The question was running an app on a computer. when I refer to computer audio I am referring to people building a pc/mac with crappy power supplies. I have heard the Innuous Zenith in my house and it really is one of the most analog sounding streamers. That being said the squeezebox interface from 15 years ago SUCKS!! I would have to have it controlled by Roon. The Auralic Aeries lighting app interface is awesome. The reason I didn’t buy Innuous is because I would also have to buy $500 Roon license in addition. Also, I want to try out the lastest Innuous version once my system configuration settles down.
Tidal app vs Roon. Wich one sounds better?
Hello guys,
As a restless audiophile I'm always looking for the way to improve the sound of my system, wich I have to say, its a pretty nice sounding and revealing one, at least for what I know.
I listen to my music streaming with Tidal app on my Notebook (Intel i5 and Windows 10) vía USB to a Wyred4Sound USB Reclocker and then via USB to my DAC (Audio-GD R8).
I've read on some places that Roon Player sounds better than the Tidal app and I´ve also read the opposite.
I know there is a free trial period for Roon and the most precise way to know it should be to try it, but I also don't want to install software on my PC just to try it with out knowing other usser's experiences first.
I also have to say that I use Dirac Room Correction and Dirac Stereo Proceesor, wich I consider very good and want to keep on using, so Roon-Dirac compatibility is a must.
Have anyone compared Roon Player vs Tidal App sound quality (I don't care about other features of the software)?
Please I would like answers only by those who have compared both of them only with PC streaming, not with other devices like dedicated streamers, etc.
I also have to say that I'm not into tech issues, so the simpler the answer, the better.
Sorry for my english, I'm from Argentina. Than you!!!
