2019 Roon Thread - is it worth it?
Feb 20, 2024 at 4:41 PM Post #166 of 166
Several guys have recommended Roon to me, but with my preliminary research (reading and watching YT videos), I can see a use for it (personally).
  • I don't have any hi-res streaming plans (my hi-res files are local on my hard drive and my streaming is by Spotify).
  • I don't listen to my hi-res music anywhere but on my head-fi station, so no need for mobile uses or other room uses.
  • My EQ settings are handled by my RME ADI-2 DAC.
  • The organization of files, articles/info, and links sound cool. If that's the only benefit for my situation, probably not worth the subscription.
If there's some other benefit from Roon, I haven't found it yet, but I'm totally open-minded. Please sell me on it, as others seem quite happy!

One more use case - excellent lean-back music discovery (great algorithm) and ton of clickable data on artists/albums/compositions for self directed discovery.
