I have tried Audirvana Plus with the free trial, but really don't see what the big deal is or why I should get Roon. I understand how some people like all the additional information it provides, but if I really care, it's easy enough to go to Allmusic. I couldn't tell any difference between Foobar 2000 and Audirvana and Foobar is free. It is a little more fussy, it took some time to figure out how to play DSD files for example, but it's all good now.
Audirvana Plus vs Roon - High Sound Quality at Lower Cost?
I've recently set up Audirvana, choosing over Roon due to Roon's higher cost.
Seems like Audirvana's sound quality is considered to be high.
Does anyone have any experience comparing sound quality of Audirvana vs Roon or other players?
I use Audirvana to play purchased FLAC's, ripped FLAC's, and also Tidal HiFi from my Mac Mini with Fusion Drive connected via USB.
Looking for input from those who may have taken the trouble to compare. I for one didn't notice a difference, but I am planning to upgrade my system shortly and differences could possibly become apparent as a result.
