Do you mind if I ask what HQPlayer Desktop brings to the party? This comes from a newbie, not a purist who questions others’ choices. 
Thanks!
I had to re-install Roon Core on my iMac. Not sure why, but Roon wouldn’t open after Ventura update. But backup worked a treat and I was up and running again within a couple of hours. Works fine now, but was not seamless for me…
After using OpenCore Legacy Patcher, I have Roon running fine on a 2012 Mac mini running Ventura. Connects to Roon ROCK running on a NUC in the cupboard.

The only (potential) issue I’ve run across since upgrading to Ventura is with writing to SMB shares (but I suspect it’s a Mac issue, and don’t think it’s a Roon issue).
My normal workflow for ripping CDs is I rip them on my Mac using dbPoweramp and write them to my NUC running ROCK via the built-in SMB share. This has worked flawlessly for a long while.
After upgrading to Ventura, however, I now get frequent errors when writing to the SMB share from the latest version of dbPoweramp.
I am pretty certain it’s a Ventura issue (and not a dbPoweramp issue), as:
- I experience no such issues when dbPoweramp writes to a local drive on my Mac.
- when I write to the same SMB share on the same laptop over the same network using the latest dbPoweramp on Windows 11 via Parallels, I get no errors.
To me, it seems that Apple has done something to SMB on Ventura (see, for example, this thread from TrueNAS support forums)
Would be curious to know if anyone else is experiencing any SMB issues with Ventura.
Hi Dave - I have both Roon 2.0 and Ventura… Ventura on a MacMini where my core is and Ventura on my MacBook Pro to run the music. It works fine.
