@Craig_Palmer thanks for your insights… please keep sharing if you hear anything new from your connections!
I thought I had a pretty good vision here (get Jeff Bezos into Roon!):
Spotify or Spotify HiFi in Roon [spotify will not allow this]
What is clear is much change ahead with 5G and emerging technologies.
Agree that Tidal, Qobuz, and Roon are all in precarious position even though they may want to remain independent.
My perfect scenario:
Sharing, playlist, discovery features of Spotify + HiRes + Roon + dynamic mobile solution + multi room slickness of Sonos + artist getting max $
Hard to get it all!
