Maybe I am imagining it, but a check with a buddy using Roon, who also agrees, Roon 1.5 has an “edgy” brighter sound nature? Anyone else hear a difference in the sound quality of the NEW Roon?

Agreed! Not as musically enjoyable. Become a little to “digital”!

Hi. If you use TImeCapsule on Mac machines, easy to downgrade or upgrade as the previous version is accessible in backups and can be reinstalled in a few clicks, and compared back and forth, with simple renaming to avoid confusion. I actually just did that to check for a doubt on what exactly was …

I totally agree, to the point where I can’t listen to my main system anymore. I just don’t see how it’s possible and I have gone through my system and checked all connections.

I guess you ompare identical formats only - not CD Tidal versus local HR for instance. I would ask the Roon guys then…

It’s bright using Roon not elsewhere!

Not sure I understand that one comment. I personally measure the distance between Roon and iTunes on airport streaming. Both have been progressing but Roon is ahead, clearly.
