Roon vs. Squeezebox Server (Logitech)

Without regard to the extra cost of Roon, and ignoring the improved interface, album art, and cool factor provided by Roon - so on the basis of sound quality only - does Roon sound better, worse, or about the same as Squeezebox Server (Logitech) when played through a dedicated music server running Linux?
If you have experience with these players, I would appreciate your input.

I went from LMS on a Vortexbox Appliance to Roon on a SmallGreen Sonicorbiter (with flac files on an attached USB drive).  DAC is a PS Audio Perfectwave II.

Sound quality improvement was impressive.  Akin to a DAC upgrade.  Relative to Roon, my LMS sound was fuzzy, flat, and unfocused -- and I thought it was pretty good until I switched.  

You'll never look back....
