Hey everyone! Build 99 is now live!
Like Build 94, this is a maintenance release with lots of bug fixes and performance improvements. We’ve resolved a few troublesome issues related to TIDAL syncing, iTunes import, Focus, and our HQPlayer integration.
Our DSD to PCM conversion has also been upgraded to improve sound quality and use a little less CPU, too. Those of you with outputs (and content) that require this conversion should let us know how it’s going!
We’ve also fixed a number of graphical “polish” issues, and exposed better stream format information for RoonReady devices that have front-panel displays.
We’re getting these fixes out the door now, not just so affected members aren’t kept waiting, but also because work on our Linux build and RoonSpeakers (or whatever it’s called 
) have now moved into into high gear, and once that work is fully integrated into our main code, a good deal more testing will be required before it can ship.
We’ve also just made some changes to our cloud metadata service to address some artist equivalence issues. I’ve detailed those changes, and the ongoing work associated with them, here.
We have so much exciting work in progress now, so keep the feedback, feature requests, and metadata corrections coming. Thanks everyone!
