Hello roon,
On my new Amp I found a roon tested badge, well today I’ve spare time to give it a try…
After few hours of trying, well I’ve a mac catalina, lots of memory, lot of processor power, with tidal app, and some file on my music library that play worse than TIDAL cause’mp3 …
Issue found:
- Imited TIDAL experience, with tidal app I find music and video easily…
- roon play music with same quality (not perceived) in the reality looking at signal with a spectrum analyzer…
- roon dsp is poor and after 2 minute of play of mqa / DSD256 high quality files some error occur
then sound start to get crazy, then roon says the stream was slowed down and stop playing. - how I can delete / add a song to my tidal playlist ?
- integration with lossy radio station ? better not speak…
- Italian radio station: in total 4 ??? no use, even to listen the news…
Good points:
- fancy info… is like having Wikipedia (E)
- fancy photos
- fancy text of song, let’s karaoke ?
- fancy flowchart of music stream transport bla bla bla
- plays music !!!
Paying for a player with such functions for me is insane, 100$ for year ? crazy,
I’m developing software for a company worldwide, and seeing such thing is
disgusting, If I pay I want it runnig perfecty, no error, no issue, better than everything else.
so:
I start remove the roon badge adhesive from my new amplifier it work the same without it !
Amp now it’s cooler without advertising over it !
That’s all, my period of roon test finish today without other words.
Domenico.
