Has anyone snagged the Poly? I... kinda really want one.
Me too. On my list of things to acquire, next after roon membership, Mrspeakers ether flow upgrade, and half-decent cable....
Total cost: over $2000 US
Available current funds: zilch
I tried Roon, and... wow I was disappointed. Maybe it's great if you have a lot of locally stored music on a NAS or something, but as a Tidal user it just felt like a needlessly clunky UI that gave me no useful recommendations.
I really don't understand the whole "rekindling the passion" thing. Like, I'm trying to get it, but like... all my albums are stored on the local network as well, the only difference is that I swap from Musicbee to Tidal depending on which I need. What's going on that people are treating Roon like it's some wild difference in how you listen to your stuff? Is it just that until you used Roon you were unable to listen to anything unless you were at that machine?
Like, okay. Let's say for a moment that I have zero problems listening to my local or Tidal music, despite having more than one machine (I use Google if I want to get it from my phone, which means I can also listen to it when I'm not on WiFi). Does Roon actually offer anything to me?
Tidal exclusively for me with roon (with no local library) is a real difference to the tidal app. the artwork, GUI, photos, bios, recommendations, intro to new genres on its own make roon a real interactive experience which i enjoy. tidal is just a database of albums by comparison. i really enjoy roon as its potential to come across artists you thought new but then now realise you don't is fab.
NOOOO
