IT Architect by day - technology enthusiasts by night. Love playing movies on Plex but was never to keen on how Plex implements music collections.

Recently installed a QNAP TS-x73 into my home lab and notice Roon within the available apps so I began to research Roon and liked what I read. I actually enjoy the history and opinions written about the artist. I’ve been wanting and waiting for the opportunity to move to a wired/wireless Hi-Fi setup but only now am I seeing the technology at an acceptable level of intelligence. So I started purchasing Roon ready speakers. Bluesound to be exact and I’m pleased even though part of the solution remains in beta. My intentions are to purchase only Roon ready speakers moving forward. I’ve lots to learn and read these forums to increase my knowledge of analog to digital options.

Setup:
QNAP NAS
Ubiquiti wired home network + Wi-Fi 5 GHz
wired bridged to the same VLAN as Wi-Fi net
Bluesound soundbar - sub and rear channel speakers
Roon - i7 - 300gb SSD - 32 ECC Memory - win10 64bit
Tidal now integrated through Roon
Roon server wired to the network
stream roon across Wi-Fi
