Replacing Roon - What Should I get?
I'm tired of Roon having brain farts. I have an original Roon Nucleus and have updated and augmented the Memory. This helped for a bit. But now, I keep having to reboot the darn thing.
It's not my network. I have checked it out and everything in the house works fine.
Here is the setup. A direct fiber optic link goes to the Router. Then ethernet to Roon from the Router. This way I get Roon to talk with the setup upstairs. I have an 35 foot ethernet cable that runs through the walls directly from the router into my dCS Lina.
I want to replace the Roon. I am thinking about an Innuos Stream. Just need a streamer that can hold Roon/Tidal. Don't need a DAC as the dCS does that quite well. I have a SSD in the Nucleus that holds a ton of my music that I want to move over.
Thoughts on what to replace the Roon with? Innuos (Stream) always get bandied about. I hear about Arender as well. I don't want to get an updated Roon.
I also wonder about deleting and reinstalling the Roon App on my iPads.
Thanks in Advance

I want to reinforce the comments from @soix about the Innuos Sense app. I know several high-end audio dealers who consider Sense to be superior to Roon in sound quality, ease of use, and stability. Roon has a well-deserved reputation for having a wide range of features, but those features often put extra demands on the server/streamer hardware for faster (and noisier) processors and greater storage space. Innous designed Sense to include a sensibly chosen range of features that meet the needs of most users and maintain optimal SQ while keeping hardware demands reasonable. I have used Sense for several years and I love it! The more I hear about problems with Roon, the happier I am to have embraced a better streaming/storage app. If I were forced to use Roon, I would probably take a close look at the Grimm MU1 or MU2. But my positive experience with the Sense app has kept me firmly committed to Innuos gear. |
@sdl4 Totally agree, Sense beats Roon SQ by a country mile. Use Innuos servers with a good clock either in your DAC or controlling it via USB and feed it with a fibre link or good switch in front |
