Ok I’ll admit this is weird, but I’ve always thought this about Roon and just now I encountered it again, so here it is… I can be listening and over a period of time, usually an hour or so, I start to notice the sound getting quite harsh, edgy and nasty. It’s subtle at first but eventually I’m faced with admitting things have gone awry.
I then switch off the power to my hifi completely, Allo DigiOne, DAC, amp the lot. I then power off the NUC 5i that’s runs Roon rock and go make a cup of tea. When i come back I boot up the NUC, and switch on the power to all other components - after a minute or two the endpoint arrives back in the IPad and i press play on what i was listening before that sounded edgy and surprisingly it now sounds a great deal better… am I going nuts!? Or could there be some actual reason for this?
This doesn’t happen at every listening session, just occasionally and always when i haven’t switched off for days and days.
