1. The user interface, ability to handle large libraries with ease & excellent tidal/qobuz integration & many more (multi room, DSP etc.)I had a few questions for people who have extensively used it or understand it very well.
1. What are the top 3 reasons why you chose Roon ?
2. Does it help fix metadata ? What happens if your files are in wave format ? Do you need to convert to Flac before it can fix metadata ?
3. Does this work alongside other music players ? Example, audirvana, foobar or even apps that come with standalone players like auralic ?
2. a) Yes, it fixes metadata; it gives you an option to apply newly fetched data or keep the existing one or you can enter manually. Extensive options are available.
b) I have not faced any problem with wav files.
c) Nope... I have tried .aiff, .alac, .flac, .wav, .dsf etc. without any problem. In case, if I the ripped CD lacks metadata I use Yate app on my iMac to manually add metadata. https://2manyrobots.com/yate/ or one can use XLD ripper for Mac as well which rips & allows metadata editing.
3. I have only used Audirvana & Roon. If Roon has exclusive access or already running & locked into dac/Streamer then Audirvana won't show that device. In order to play music into same device one has to quit either application. This is what I have observed in past 3years. Now, I am not using Audirvana at all.
Let me know if you have any queries.
