I’ve been using Roon since pretty close to its launch in a number of configurations (whole home and single station at office), for the past two years it’s been exclusively whole home and Audirvana at my office. I’m now building a Rock NUC to run Roon at my office for a few users. I have to say I was surprised to read some of the early comments in this thread that AV sounded better to folks than Roon. That has never been my experience between the two, but I did take the time to read and understand Roon and all of its settings/requirements early on which are crucial to best performance.ĪV has always had a bit of a crackle or static out of both Mac Mini i7 w/64gb of Ram and even a new M1 with 16gb of Ram playing into a myriad of $1K dacs. I went through troubleshooting like an IBM IT Support Tech telling someone to plug in the damn computer to no avail if you know the joke. I went to try the new AV Studio last week but it will not open on my M1 Mac Mini, regular AV does fine just not the Studio version hence I’m building a Roon Rock NUC. My home setup is an i8 Rock Nuc in an Akasa Turing Case. No issues, not even with Roon 1.8 that got some hate on the interwebz. I’ve run Roon headless on a few different Mac mini’s over the last 5 or 6 years too so I’ve got a multitude of experience with it.Īnyway this has been my experience between the two. I’ve been a Jriver user for eons but decided to try Audirvana and Roon and… HQPlayer. It is astounding to me that there are differences between all of the players with Roon and HQPlayer being the outliers. So that I can elaborate a little I have been a headphone listener for decades from electrostatics to planar but it’s not the headphones that matter but rather being able to distinguish differences or nuances. JRiver and Audirvana are for sure kissing cousins. There is very little if anything to distinguish audibly between the two when a Dac is setup identically with both. But when Roon is brought into play there is a distinctive sound difference. ![]() Mostly with spacial characteristics and with some recordings a difference with mid bass that is very distinctive. To a trained listener it would be impossible not to notice. HQplayer audio, to me, becomes more restrictive and slightly muted compared to JRiver or Audirvana. I realize that HQplayer has various filters and all have some impact but I could never get back to JRiver with any setting I used. Does that mean it’s better or just different… Audible preference should be the prevailing factor. So to me a lot is going on under the table that nobody talks about. It certainly isn’t bits are bits and they all sound the same BS. I’m just in the beginning of this audible puzzle but will post again when I have more listening time. Just replying to my own post to try to get attention so we can talk about NUCs with outside of the Chord it’s interesting that you used a fanless case. I thought about that but decided to use the regular case for my first attempt, to see how that went, since I could always move it to a fanless case later, if there was a problem. It’s actually very quiet, with the fan almost never coming on. I’ve read conflicting reports about whether a linear power supply helps a NUC, so I’m not sure if I want to spend that kind of money yet. This low noise NUC power supply from Teddy Pardo is intriguing, although I don’t think it’s linear.Īlso, to your point about Raspberry Pi solutions not always being great, I think that the PI2AES is a very well engineered solution. The owner of the company clearly put a lot of thought into it and worked with SBAF members to prototype. Not trying to come across as defensive, just mentioning that I shared your concerns when I was looking for streaming solutions, and this one is superb IMO.įoobar is great. I tested it against some premium players last year (Audirvana and JRiver) and although I could detect some differences between them, I couldn’t determine which was best, so I decided to keep using using Foobar as my main player, since it was free. I did buy a lifetime license to Roon a few months ago, and that gave me an incremental increase in SQ over Foobar, but that could just as easily been because I was feeding my Yggy with an AES cable instead of USB. But I still use Foobar for things that are not yet in my Roon library and it’s fine.
