rooHead - Incredible Headphone Sound

Here my answers:
(i)

  • Easy to use for everybody, not only for educated people like you.
  • Bass Boost and Tilt (I think both are a very important features!)
  • Equal volume with Headroom management.
  • Extended frequency range up to 96kHz removing cut off at 22kHz that is in the original files.
  • One filter crafted for each sample rate (up to 192kHz) and not only one for 44kHz that will be upscaled up by Roon keeping all its limitations.

(ii)

  • Cloning means violating the copyright of Jaakko and those who measured the headphones. It’s all a bit complicated by law. The way it is implemented now, only the end user accesses the data (that is public domain) and I am not violating anyone’s copyright.
  • With the current implementation each new headphone added by Jaakko will be immediately available in rooHead.

(iii)

  • Equalizers from rooHead are delivered as a ZIP file that has to be opened with the convolution DSP of Roon to be functional. If you use a mobile with Roon App you can include it in the playback path as you did it locally.
    At the moment Roon ARC does not yet have this ability but I read Roon works on supplying DSP with Roon ARC.
