I was caught off guard with the price increase. I bought a year subscription to see how things worked and if I liked the software. Only after 3 months I went to buy a lifetime subscription and saw it went up to 700.00. I think that is steep. it will basically take me 6.5 years to brake even if roon still exists. I own a aurliac Altar g1 and with that comes lightening DS software. Does not have exactly the same features roon does but sounds just as good. Has eq ability and artist information. I think I will stay with my free software for my DAC. Oh and I don’t need a separate computer to run the software
