I have a microRendu that I had to configure as SqueezeBL rather a Roon endpoint since my new Schiit usb board no longer worked with > 16 bit.
Now I have iPeng squeezebox player running on myiPad which is cool.
But am I losing any audio SQ or network resiliency having to use squeezeLite on microRendu rather than Roon endpoint?
Hoping the community can clear this up for me
What happened to the Schiit board? Don’t they have a decent warranty?
I have to pull it from the Dac and pay to mail it back. Not too thrilled to pay again. Jesus with Sonare got it working to ignore Schiit’s incorrect bit rate advertisement.
SQ he said there was no difference, but I was hoping Roon support would respond what I am giving up not to use their native endpoint client.
I installed ipeng and I now have to restart squeeziteLite on the microRenu to see it in Roon Audio again.
I’ll add a @support tag.
Not seeing any updates from Roon on this question. I’m hoping MQA is going to be in my Christmas Stocking.
Can @support please respond to this question
I would expect network resilliency to be about the same between the two protocols. If your network is very weak and depends on FLAC compression to keep stream bitrates manageable, Squeezelite might have an edge. If you are not experiencing dropouts/trouble then this is a non-issue.
With regard to sound quality, we stand behind RAAT, and there are a number of things that we feel RAAT does better than other protocols, but we know better than to speak in absolutes about perceived sound quality–it is too individual a topic. People will always have contradictory preferences.
RAAT in a nutshell:
