Roon could learn a thing or two from that. Roon's superiority lies in it's user interface and search abilities.

Yeah, all that high frequency stuff - mostly noise anyways - on 192kHz material is simply unnecessary.<br /><br />It's good to see the competition at work. IMO sound quality is not a problem with the lossless streams so long as decent mastering used and the software isn't fooling around with stuff Archimagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642574001287787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-15777138715689188492021-05-27T12:17:24.877-07:002021-05-27T12:17:24.877-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Gadget Portalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08521339981331940987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-26120305024233439112021-05-27T06:17:41.332-07:002021-05-27T06:17:41.332-07:00Hi Arch

Yeah, not surprised that the 192kHz has a lot of old stuff which was basically old analogue tapes digitized to the high bitrate.
