Differences between JPlay or Roon into HQP

Thanks, that thread is comedy gold! I think I will keep being amazed how some people manage to even turn their computers on quietly though.

Have you validated that Lumin plays at exactly the same o9utput level when using theirt app vs. using Roon Ready input?

Lumin. Roon at least does not claim that their products do something that is physically impossible.

It is absolutely possible to make a streamer that has SQ differences depending on where the data is sourced fro (most likely they do not, but it is possible). I think there would also be absolutely no reason to buy such a device as a matter of principle.

No,
NUC I5 : Roon Server only
Mac Mini M2 : HQP Desktop only
NUC I3 : Naa only

Odd how changing to NAS would make a difference.

Just curious, which OS and was this Roon Server, or the full Roon with a GUI?

Roon server only (dietpi on Bookworm)

I didn’t know DietPi has RoonServer. But since it is based on Bookworm it is not so far from the installation I have… :thinking:

A lot of us run Roon server on DietPi X64 these days.

It’s a very good setup and I have been running it since early 2024 after moving from Rock
