Nyev Roon isn't for everybody and not everybody gets its brilliance,
What Roon does well is a number of things it is a lot more than just pick and artist and play music software yes it does that but that is not the core of what is does.
Roon is about discovering new music and discovering or rediscovering artists you love, personally we find that a stored library plus Roon and Tidal or Qbouz is paradise.
Your stored library is a memory device to remember all the artists you have ever purchased not to mention not all CD's titles will be on Tidal, or Obouz. The streaming services will then also help to round out your library.
One feature we love is Roon radio which finds new music based on what you were just listening to and then plays it automatically.
Another cool feature through Roon is the ability to upsample or cross convert so you can upsample Tidal to 24/192 or 24/384 up to 768k and DSD to 512 depending on your dac and the server Roon is running on.
We have found that certain dacs sound amazing at higher freq or playing DSD.
Yes Roon is expensive, at $500 lifetime or $119 a year but $119 a year is roughly $10 a month, go to Starbucks twice and you have paid for Roon.
Roon spent over 10 years developing its software it was Soolos originally and the softwares meta data and enriched surfing experience is why most people buy Roon in the first place.
Roon requires a lot of playing time and using time to see just how amazing the software is.
Roon may not be for you but many people find it fantastic. If you go for an Innuous they are Roon cores and really should be run with Roon vs iping or Squeeze player which Innuous also supports.
The conductor software is very good, we find Roon to be vastly better, also if an Innous Zenith matches a Aurender N10 yet sells for half the price don't you still think you may have a better deal on your hands even if you have to purchase Roon?
Just food for thought
