Thanks. flying home tomorrow. Nothing but heavy rain at both our places.
Yes, I know. I have Audirvana 3.5 and did a year of Audirvana Studio. I’m now part of the Audirvana Studio 2.0 Beta. Audirvana Origin was introduced for local files only and is $120 for lifetime.
NativVita went out of business but their player still works and does not require internet for files stored to internal HD. Not as fast or well organized as Roon but 500-odd CD’s/HD’s in the drive. Still have CD’s and vinyl as well.

What new in v2 is it worth another look
Not for me to say.
Playing music is so life critical that I need a fallback plan. Do you have a fallback plan for everything in your music chain? I’ll just play vinyl which is my primary means of listening to music anyway. That said, I also run JRiver and LMS so I’m probably covered.
Yeah, Compact Discs

The Roon Conundrum…
Before Roon ARC, it was easy…use Roon at home with my Nucleus core and away from home with my Dell core. Now, with Roon ARC, I don’t want to unauthorize my Nucleus and lose Roon ARC and I don’t much like Audirvana 3.5, so I just paid $70 for another year of Audirvana Studio. Maybe, over the next year, Roon will decide to let us have two authorized cores or some other solution, short of a second sub to Roon. Or, maybe they will give us a Roon ARC app for laptops.

This might have been mentioned earlier but I have a way to play my Roon library that I used before ARC.
First, I listened to all my library. Then every time I find a good song, I click on the little heart. I create a bookmark “all favorites” and then select all > Export.
I get 1200 tracks. Then I convert these FLAC tracks to ALAC and I add them to my iPhone.
It works great. I do it every 6 months when I download new musics.
MIne’s called an SD Card on Android with UAPP

I think we’re a minority, requesting both the ability to switch between Cores and enjoying the benefits of ARC. Still, i would like that too.
Another option (for me) is to allow Roon ARC to authenticate it’s Core… Or let ARC play out to RAAT endpoints on remote WLANs.
However, the lower bandwidth required of a Core in a remote location is hard to see past.

There are perhaps more of us that I realised.
I decided the cost of a second (lifetime) subscription was worthwhile.
I have two cores at two different homes but I’ll manage with the one license for the time being. I can’t really personally justify a second license.

What speaks for Roon ARC and one Core is the missing ability to sync/share Cores. Playlists, edits, history etc.
I don’t have the need for two licenses as i only use one at a time
