Why gripe about the price (and I appreciate it’s not all griping) when you could instead applaud Roon that although they have a hardware offering at a price point you are not happy with that they still provide the software (FREE) for you to roll your own.
I think this is exceptional and needs to be noted and appreciated.
Well done Roon, I feel more a part of a the Roon community today than I ever have and there does indeed seem to be a strong community element and long may it continue.
