Does SQ improve with RoonServer instead of the full blown core version or should I leave it as is… Any advice would be great.
From a digital audio perspective the bits are the same in the two versions.
From an analog perspective, computers emit more EM/RF noise when they’re working harder. Turning off the UI takes a load off of your machine. It will use less RAM, not spin up the GPU at all, and be less likely to trigger the fan (if you have one).
Also, the server version has a watchdog mechanism and auto-restarts in case of a crash or unresponsive server. Not that Roon ever crashes…but were it to do that…ever…it would be nice not to have to access a headless machine to kick it.
Basically: if I were running my Roon server in a headless configuration, I’d run RoonServer.
the multiple albums I have that get confused with others in Roon’s database don’t seem to get corrected…
The iOS port and 1.1 release took precedence, but now that those are behind us, work has begun on these issues. We do not intend to leave this stuff as-is forever.
