Hi all,

Thanks everyone for all the kind words and great feedback about Roon 1.7!

The last 5 days have been the busiest ever on the Community Site, and we’ve been tracking a few issues that we wanted to try and address before the holiday here in the States.

We know that some of you have been having problems streaming Qobuz and TIDAL reliably since Roon 1.7 launched. While we have been unable to reliably reproduce this problem in-house, we undertook a thorough investigation, audited the code involved, fixed a few potential issues with it, and worked with some users over the weekend to see if it helped. Initial signs are encouraging, so we decided to deliver these changes as soon as possible. Please let us know how things are working with Build 505!

We also did some work to lighten up the font weight in Build 505, after receiving some feedback that Roon 1.7 looked too bold on some displays.

Finally, this release has a handful of other bug fixes, including fixes for some GPU-related crashes and color issues on Windows, as well as some other minor fixes. The full list is below, and Build 505 is rolling out now!

Thanks everyone!

The Team At Roon Labs
