This thread is for general comments and feedback regarding Roon 1.3. If you have a Support issue requiring assistance please open a thread in the Support section.
Roon 1.3 has so much in it ! We will still be discovering new things in the DSP Engine alone for some time. Sonos and Bluesound compatability will open up Roon to many more people.
I presume that you donât want this to turn into a Roon 1.4 feature request thread Andrew, as @danny had previously suggested that those long scrawling threads werenât helpful and that it would be better to list feature requests individually.
Itâs just that if this is not a feature request thread and if support issues are also listed elsewhere, I wonder what kind of âfeedbackâ is left over? Positive feedback perhaps! I for one like the new version, though it only addressed 1 of my top 5 feature requests.
Iâm waiting for my rescanning to finish before trying out some DSP features. Iâm looking forward to some of the more experienced members posting their experience here especially with convolution as Iâd really like to see what impact âsorting the room outâ has (without spending a fortune!)
The share function is great for sticking some music on the Naim forum as it has a nice Roon add indcluded.
A bluesound certainly may well make its way into the kitchen, Roonâs interoperability (is that the correct word) is really something else now, hard to believe itâs only over a year since I âjoinedâ.
Looking forward to separating Foster and Allen from Echo and the Bunnymen, must have a good play with the editing.
Excellent work guys!
Such a major overhaul and still so smooth process of upgrading the units.
I love these features:
Customizeable upsampling/conversion using the DSP, already in use!
Crossfeed, perfect for my two endpoints mainly used for headphone listening.
Love the âfolder content browsing of pics and pdf filesâ
Much improved background color on the artist/album infopage, my old eyes thank you even more!
Is the controller faster? Feels like it however it has also hung a couple of times.
Not so much love for these:
From the announcement mail, âRoon now plays everywhereâ Well, not on my iPhone/iPadâŚ
DSD upsampling, not so nice, due to the conversion to PCM somewhere in there?
Customising more than one Internet Radio station properties. Causes hang on the iPad. Need to restart app to be able to add custom pics for radio stationsâŚ
Yes, weâll refrain from an all in one feature request thread. After all the idea is to let the devs clearly hear what users are saying.
Feedback can be positive or negative. Hopefully the positives outweigh the negatives, but the negatives are important as they help improve the product.
No. An iPhone needs to see a Core in order for Roon to work.
Not sure what an album view would look like in Playlist. The Playlist browser is completely redesigned with thumbnails for each Playlist. When a Playlist is opened each Track shows an album cover (even Tidal albums not in your library !) and you can configure Album as a column so you can click straight to any Album referenced in a Playlist.
me too, but still disappointed about the poor internet radio integration (every old squeezebox has an expandable list of worldwide radio stations preconfigured)
Album view for playlists would show -album covers- instead of a list of songs that scrolls off the screen when viewing a playlist. I want to add albums to playlists and see album covers when I view those playlists. Whether one song from an album is included or all songs, I donât care about seeing individual songs. For example, click on Albums under Library. I want this same sort of view available when I click on a specific playlist. That was really my only request for this release and after posting this request in the Playlists thread here, I really got my hopes up when I read about âCollectionsâ in bullet #4 of DARâs preview for 1.3 about a month ago, but I guess any significant playlist changes got axed over the last month. Oh well thereâs always 1.4.
Problems with sound output on a recent vintage iMac running Roon 1.3 core. Iâm hearing a steady clicking overlaying the music when I try to play a file from Tidal that I know to be in Master format. Iâve tried changing my device output configuration in various ways; i.e: changing the max sample and bit rates, but nothing seems to solve the problem. It makes the file unlistenable. Any suggestions?
Congratulations to the Roon team for this major update. I hope you will find the time for a release party, now that the traffic on this forum is clearly on a peak.
The update for me was very fluent and I already saw that multiple issues/improvements for which I joined the discussion are indeed fixed/included
I will update the individual threads with some detailed feedback later on.
Just posted a Facebook image of an Album which is a great tool and should get the Roon name about a lot but the image quality could be better. Itâs a bit blurry.
Congrats on all the hard work though making it possible at all.

Instant answer to âHow important is this song?â âWhat do I already have?â âHow much donât I already have?â âHow can I hear more of this song?â
Iâve done more new music discovery using this tool in the past couple of months than in the year previous. It doesnât take me far out of my box, but helps me experience things I already like differently.
