I have noticed the last several updates resulted in sluggish UI performance and the sound quality degradation (rolled off, dull and anemic). It reminded me why I cancelled Roon twice in the past. Anyone else with the same experience? Can’t the Roon be made to sound and operate at its absolute best …

The last several responses are a non answer and the exact direction where this is headed with a group of theorists without actual experience with the streaming options I listed telling me that it’s all expectation bias and placebo. Once again, state your own experience in your own system. Don’t tel…

@David_White1 no bud. You need to prove me wrong. You don’t have an opinion here as far as I’m concerned.

To clarify, we know and can prove the signal is exactly the same. That isn’t to question your experience at all, but that experience is psychological, and nobody has ever shown otherwise (which would be really easy to do with a simple blind test if any difference existed). The brain, however, has ma…

[image] JPLAY iOS Application JPlay JPLAY recently released their iOS app. It sounds good, but I was wondering, what is the difference between an app like JPLAY iOS and Roon software. I don’t understand computer audio software very well, so I would appreciate s…

After a hard reboot of Nucleus One some of the UI issues are gone. Slow but better now. Sonics - jplay still ahead of roon. Since I haven’t heard from anyone here who compared the 2 and no one listed their system components, I’m going to close this out by concluding that the posters here never tr…

If jplay did sound better than Roon, that would only mean that it’s not bit perfect and it’s doing something else (eq, character, amplitude…). If you filtered your understanding through the fact that the signal is the same (at least roon = qobuz = tidal) then maybe you wouldn’t be stating in public …

I mean we are way past the point where it gets funnier every time and all the way along to just learn how it works
