In addition to the previously mentioned ways to improve Roon sound,
'only play one zone at a time'.
Roon vs Qobuz Connect
Yes the title is misleading because Qobuz is a server and Roon is an aggregator. But this question is for all those who stream Qobuz via Roon, or via Qobuz Connect (QC).
There is little doubt that QC sounds significantly better than Roon streaming Qobuz. Admittedly a subjective opinion, but for all of those who agree:
The advantages of Roon in integrating personal and external sources are obvious. To counter this, I can run a small local server and access my personal collection via Qobuz. But the aggregation sucks overall.
What can I do to have my QC cake and eat it too? I’d love to hear about any clever tweaks to imitate Roon’s capabilities, while keeping QC quality.

@dwette "Now I have no choice but to use Roon." I think you do have choices. I think you can use UPnP for free with mconnect or use JPLAY which is not free but many think sounds better than mconnect. unless I misunderstood your statement..... |
@boulder_bob yes, that’s right, and I mentioned in an earlier post here that UPnP is also supported. I already used Roon for years though, and that’s by far my best option compared to UPnP. I tried Audirvana briefly (I have a 3-month trial) and decided the user experience is terrible, compared to Roon. I found no advantage to using it otherwise anyway. |
