Roon 2.0 Build 1275 and ARC Build 180 is Live!

Hello Everyone,

We heard you loud and clear, and the wait is over… we’re proud to introduce MUSE; a DSP Engine made for both Roon ARC and Roon Core!

MUSE delivers one of the most requested upgrades to ARC and brings an advanced signal-processing engine to your phone. And it does it in a way that’s completely new and effortless to use on the go!

Too much bass in your IEMs? Slightly better hearing in one ear than the other? Have a library full of hard-panned stereo recordings that need a little help? Not a problem; MUSE can handle all that and more.

MUSE places bold EQ handling, optimized balance control, precision volume leveling, DSD support, crossfeed, headroom management, and sample rate conversion in the palm of your hand. To top it all off, MUSE lets you customize audio settings to your taste and then save them with a few clicks. MUSE even remembers your presets and reapplies them when you reconnect to a device.

If you couldn’t already tell, we’re thrilled to add MUSE to ARC’s feature set. We’re certain you’ll enjoy it too. Please take some time to get to know MUSE inside and out, and let us know if you have any questions while using it!

Thank you for your continued support,
The Team at Roon Labs
