Hi Matan,
[quote=“matan_offer, post:3, topic:13503”]
Is it because you think it’s an overall simpler process than to find solutions for WAV tagging?
[/quote]Yes, esp. given that wav files can’t be tagged and Roon does not support CUE file.
Danny the CTO of Roon, commented on Single File + CUE file in this post (there are also suggestions of software to help split up the file):
From an audio quality point of view, there is no difference between WAV and FLAC (or ALAC), the DAC will still be rendering the same audio data regardless of the lossless source format.
If you’re concerned about the extra workload the on the CPU (which is negligible on modern processors) then just make sure you DAC is fed via asynchronous USB or even better via a network bridge (Roon Ready / Running RAAT) that will fully decouple the DAC from the computer doing the decoding. The later further isolating the DAC from the electrically noisy PC environment.
Let us know how you get on, it may helps others in a similar situation.
