Heads up for everyone though… please do not pile-on, and try to be as nice as possible.
I happen to know what Taiko Audio did to make things “sound better”, but it would be inappropriate for me to spill their internal details. You will have to ask them. I agree with some of their choices (nothing to do with CPU core allocation or anything noted above), and because those changes were made at the same time as the Roon update, the confusion is understandable.
Our position remains the same, nothing changed related to audio in 537. It shouldn’t sound better or worse than the previous build(s). Given that all claims were non-measurable, non-reproducible, anecdotal, and unexplainable, we are holding the position that any SQ improvements or degradations are in the environment that lives outside the Roon software.
